Experiences with Serial/USB Adapters

Hello,

I'm planning to buy a new laptop, but unfortunately, there are very few that have a serial port. While it shouldn't be the most important factor when buying, I suspect that a built-in serial port simply works better than a USB-to-serial adapter. The background is that I already have a well-functioning (original) diagnostic adapter that uses a serial connection.

Currently, there are two notebook models available: one with a serial port and one without. The model with the serial port costs approximately 150 euros more, but has slightly better specifications.

How well does diagnostics work with a USB/serial converter? What are your experiences?

Try using the search function. We've used it before quite often.

If you ask me: either a USB diagnostic adapter or a direct serial interface.
I have tested two USB to RS232 adapters and they are working fine. I can't find any disadvantages, but I suppose this cannot be generalized!

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English.
