I think that was true about 2 years ago. Not so with newer models.

Right. What I meant was using an older model abouit 2 years ago, which would make the laptop 4-5 years old, was problematic.

I think any Windows-based computer will work. If you do the correct configurations to the COM-port, and diseable all background tasks, it should be fine!
