I bought this recently off the auction site..

Paid $64.00 with free shipping came loaded with Windows 7 Pro and runs HP Tuner just fine. Its a little older Mini HP model and the battery that came with it held a 2 hour charge. Bought a new battery ($12.00) and it will run almost 4 hours now before needing a charge. Easier to work on then my bigger HP Pro and for $64 you can't beat it.

Yeah pretty much anything should work. Wipe it clean and just keep the minimum software on there. Excel if you know how to use it and HPT and that's about it.
It doesn't take a lot of processing power.. get the screen size you want and a good battery and you'll be fine
(and I use a macbook pro too.. great battery life)

Finally got the specs. Just upgraded it to Windows 10. Battery is about 65%, not sure how long it's good for, I've always kept it plugged in.
