Overview of the project:

- Plan to get a basic Windows 10 laptop with 1 GB SSD / 16 GB of RAM, newer processor
- I will be coding two vehicles: 2017 F36 and 2015 X15
- What ENET cables do you recommend? Happy to pay extra for high quality cables
- What software is required? From what source?

Appreciate all feedback. I will learn quickly.
I've been using a Dell 32GB Inspiron with 4GB RAM for my car programming. I have Fiat, Audi and now eSys on there and it's very adequate, although it's eMMC drive is near full.

You really only need a low end laptop. The most important thing really is battery life. The Inspiron I have lasts a good 8 hours, due to the low end specs. It also has no LAN port. I use a USB to Lan dongle and a cheapo ENET lead from china with no issues.
