Hi Simon,

What battery life do your laptops have, I might be in the market for one soon as mine is getting too old to use.

I'm getting 1 hour of life out of new cheap ebay battery, original Toshiba one cuts out at random cos it's 10 years old.

Ideally im looking for something that will work on vida for 90min without dying as a base.

The Lenovo ones I've been providing for the last year or so generally come with an extended life battery.
I'm confident they'd clear an hour at least but I've never tested them for as long as 90 minutes straight.
Why do you need such a long battery life? There may be a workaround like adjusting the laptop power options to turn off the screen or run it at reduced brightness to prolong life.

Hi Simon,
What laptops do you have currently? Looking to get one quite soon. I already have a Dice unit.

Cheers

Currently Dell E6400 with a new SSD, battery and charger but check back when you're in a position to buy as laptop models vary.

How much would that be? I’m probably around on the weekend if it’s available to pick up?

Keen to get purchase a Vida laptop with tested Dice; SSD would be great. Could you PM me so that you can let me know if you have any laptops available and confirm price and payment.

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi.

Could you supply a laptop 'ready to go' with all I need to do diagnostics via the OBD2 port on my 1998 C70 T5? If so, what would be the price?

Thanks
Don
