-Beyond that, any modern (within the last 15 years) laptop will suffice for running ECMLink. The CPU and/or processing demands of the application itself are pretty minimal. ​ Just make sure you have a USB Standard-A port on your laptop (the typical host-style port you plug your phone and/or other devices into) and that's really about it.+Beyond that, any modern (within the last 15 years) laptop will suffice for running ECMLink.

 +And I hope you understand that given how varied all these setups and options can get (I just touched the surface with that list above), we're jsut not able to help everyone make all these decisions. It's an involved process that will probably carry forward with you for months, so it's something you either need to find someone local to help with or you need to get a full understanding of all these options and procedures yourself.

 +A **typical** order will involve the purchase of the ECMLink package itself along with socket service on an EPROM ECU. You can place that order on our website using this link and updating the options at the bottom of the page.
