Long story short, my Dad needs a laptop which can interface with all manner of machinery, he's an electrician and needs a laptop with the right ports to talk to Siemens machines, mitzibishi machines etc....
I think it needs a certain type of port or something, from what I've seen of his work he currently uses a VAIO with a USB cable and adapter, but every time he goes to connect it to a machine, he has to manually reconfigure the USB port and change it to USB001 or USB002 and then tell the laptop that the siemens machine is connected to USB001.
I am not an electrician so I'm sorry for the lack of details, just wonder if such a thing exists called a Programming laptop? That's what he called it
