Which latop for car diagnostics? - sakica - 16-11-2024
Which other laptop can you recommend? It should be purely for car diagnostics for Mercedes Xentry, BMW ISTA, Kessv3, USW. I currently have a Lenovo T420 but the battery is causing problems and so is the new battery, can I also use a T470?Thx

You can actually use any Windows laptop. Just make sure you have enough USB ports. I use T420 and T470

Did you buy generic battery or a genuine one? Most cheap shit batteries are not calibrated properly
Any laptop with an i5 processor or better is recommended

I did not buy an original battery and the problem is that even with the new battery my T420 does not last 2 hours. Therefore I am looking for a better laptop with a better battery so that I have at least 4 hours or more power. thanks

Why dont you just buy an original battery instead? I see there is a long life 7800mAh battery for the T420. This is the part number 0A36303
