Compatible laptop:

Panasonic CF30 & CF31, which better?

There are two populous laptops to choose for both diagnosis and programming: Panasonic CF30 and Panasonic CF31. People get confused sometimes. Actually, besides those technical parameters, it’s very easy to make your decision between these two laptops:
1. Normally, people offers second-hand CF30 and CF31, but CF31 is always much more newer than CF30, it might because of CF30 is no more in production;
2. If you are a computer fun, and you always seek for higher configurations, then you should choose CF31, because it is 2 times faster than CF30;
3. But if you just need a specialized laptop for Porsche diagnosis, it’s definitely okay to get a second-hand CF30. PIWIS factory tested yes with Porsche software on CF30 laptop.
