ODB scanner tool

[home4sale2]

Hi, found this on amazon and other websites for around $40. Are these any good? I know I can stop by at autozone to read and reset codes but I am thinking its a good investment. Its USB and I have a laptop and it seems to include software.

ElmScan 5 Compact USB OBD-II Scan Tool & OBDWiz Engine Diagnostic Software (423001)

Thoughts?

You can get a handheld one for about the same price, which saves the hassle of having to get a computer involved.
