In some cases, a laptop can be a surprisingly useful tool in an automobile.

#2, Yeah, but too many chowderheads would probably be trying to download Itunes and drive at the same time

Yeah, but in a Subaru STi? There's at least some possibility that it's in there to help the driver avoid making it go kaboom. It's hard to tune a forced induction car without a little bit of datalogging.

Dynos only go so far, and dyno time gets expensive. If you're tuning for driveability, there are a bunch of things (spark advance at lower load levels, etc.) which you can't quite get from dyno tuning alone. Fine changes, like +/- 1% adjustments to MAF transfer functions, "dashpot" and idle control adjustment, really require a little bit of time on the road.
As far as custom engine management stuff goes, on some cars, it's really not necessary. I can get all the adjustability I need out of my OEM ECU. I can monitor exactly what the car is doing, make adjustments to the calibration, and reprogram the ECU straight through the OBDII port.
