The enthusiast version *IS* the cheap version. The pro is ~$600 more.

yup that fan panel that snaps off is a huge pain.

Just to be clear I'm being sarcastic.

Default Which laptop is best...or works with Durametric?

Make sure you have USB 2.0 available. Durametric does not like USB 3.0 yet....
I have been in touch with a Durametric rep and I am probably going to spring for their kit. However, regarding their caution on USB 3.0, they cautioned me to avoid ASUS laptops. Additionally, some Dells create a problem with their USB 3.0.

So what laptops are you folks running and are you "tricking" your USB port to only operate at 2.0?

I am trying to avoid buying and returning laptops trying to find "the one" that works!

Simple, Mac Book Pro / Air with either Boot Camp or Parallels. And of course a full version of Windoze 7.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info on the laptops. I wonder how much of the USB 3.0 issue is folks inadvertently plugging into the 3.0 slot vice one of the 2.0 slots.

Apple MAC. Hmmmm. Never owned an Apple and I've been thinking about it. I really like their graphics capabilities or maybe I've only seen them in their "sales" mode.
