etd's longevity

[Michel Lachance]

Hi,

The whole question is that you have on a side a program that you use with a 
laptop, and other side, the SAT that is self contained.

Letting aside the longevity itself of each of these devices, the fact that 
the tuning software and the laptop are independant of each other makes 
things very different.  If your laptop breaks, you can go to your local 
dealer to have it repaired.  If your SAT breaks, you have to ship it at 
Inventronic's.

You can get brand new laptops for less than $1000, and you can easily find 
used laptop in your own hometown for less than $500.

Your SAT, once bought, will always stay the same.  Your program, on the 
other hand, can upgraded for a better version later on and keeping the same 
laptop.  Reversly, you can buy a better laptop and keep the same program.

Longevity is only one the issues when you have to choose between the two 
systems (SAT and RCT).  I think that if you consider getting an ETD device, 
you should also compare the inherent features of each visual tuning device.

Regards,

Michel Lachance, RPT
