I'm looking for a new laptop and came across this on eBay. It says it has a program called pocketfleet? I haven't heard of this system do anyone have experience with or heard of? I wouldn't mind just being able to read not to program or not to change parameters. I also like the odbii capabilties. Does this look like a decent package for the price?

Thanks

We only use Panasonic tougbooks in our shop. They are worth the money if they are used every day by different techs, They get rained on, dropped on the floor, oil spilled on them and thats on a good day. We have the Cummins Insight program which is awesome and of course the Mack/volvo VCADS/ PTT ( which everyone here hates with a passion) and we still use the old Mack software alot. For other trucks we use the Eaton MD-300 which works well on other makes and models of truck and engines and ABS.

I've seen this toughbooks in use in the field and like you said rain,snow,oil, dust, debris falling on them does not effect them. That in itself is very nice, but I seen it has this pocketfleet software on it which would come in handy if it's reputable and reliable.
