Need help finding a Laptop Car Mount

Hey all,

Anyone have a laptop in their car? If so what mount system did you go with. I need something that works well but doesnt take up alot of room.

Its going on my 4runner

I had one in my company car a few years back with a Ricochet wireless modem so I could surf the Net while at work. It was a Jotto Desk.

I think you will find that it is very high quality.

The company car was a Crown Vic and the jotto bolted to the seat bolts. I think on the 4Runner you will have to drill holes in the floor, but it will be rock solid.

Wow. Those $25 ones on Ebay look great. Can you post some pics of your mount in your 4Runner? Can it be turned and/or repositioned (ie turned to face the passenger or turned to face the driver) without unbolting it from the floor? Thanks. I've been looking for one of these.

Be sure to post some pictures when you get it installed. I'd like to see it in the 4Runner also.

Same here, might be an excuse to buy a cheap ebay laptop for GPS use.

seems like it's easy to make one yourself with parts at the hardware store and just slip the plastic tube over it.......get it?

I like those Anthony.

I have ran my little Garmin eTrex on the laptop as a test, but have not driven off road with the laptop.

Once of those is waaaaaaaaaay cheaper than the commercial units.
