The $61 scan tool I'm selling is a set of cables and connectors and with a CD-ROM software that has a serial number code. It runs off any laptop or desktop computer. No pics of the cables or software. You can visit their web to see pics.
the SCREEN SHOTS are the one I'm selling

I assume one end plugs into the OBD port under the passenger dash. What is the end that plugs into the laptop? USB? RS-232? (9-pin?) What OS do you use?
Many modern laptops don't have serial ports, so this might be an issue (mine has four USB 2.0 ports but no serial/parallel ports...)
Okay, with a little research at your link I see the following:
"Use Windows 3.1, 95, 98, BOB, ME, 2K, XP computer, 386 or higher, optimized for low cost laptops."
"Includes protected RS-232 serial gateway, OBD-II connector and cable"
"Optional order items include USB adapter $28, extension cables 25-100 feet."
Some pics of the cabling here: LINK
All of the pics show a 9-pin RS-232 plug, except the optional USB adapter.

Yea. Standard is the 9-pin. My laptop has a serial 9-pin. If you want to run on USB, you can go to the computer store and get an adapter.
I tried on my Windows 2000 and Windows XP. They both run great.
