There is new PC software coming out that will allow you to unplug the hand control of your NexStar GPS, NexStar 5i/8i, NexStar CGE and presumably the ASC as well and run everything from your laptop including alignment. And the software goes beyond what the hardware HC does, too, with some incredibly interesting options. If you're interested in this soft of thing, check out http://www.astrogeeks.com/ to get a peek at what's coming down the pike.
One of the coolest things is that you can run your entire session w/o touching the keyboard because you can plug in a wireless game pad to control the scope, and get audio feedback in that it uses speech to read the menus and give you queues as to where you are. But there's a lot more to it than that. A lot.
Have a look.
