Hi Les, It seems to depend on what you want an ETD for. A laptop is unquestionably more flexible in that you can use it in so many other ways, but if you are looking for a dedicated tuning tool, the SAT II's that my Dad, Murray and I have had since they first came out all still work just fine. In fact, Murray is having to tune with his SAT instead of his new RCT which he bought last February since he tripped on the cord of the laptop and pulled it off the piano and onto the floor whereupon the screen stopped functioning. All of our SAT's have taken a fall at one time or another. Of course, you're probably not as clumbsy as we are! All that said and done, I'm considering getting a laptop and RCT before I go to Germany again next March.......
