Mobile laptop mount?

BT17R · 08-04-2009, 10:03 AM

I'm researching netbooks suitable for in-car GPS/Wi-Fi use. I'll need to find a sturdy mount that pivots for driver or passenger use. Suggestions?

I'm sure you can mount it further back towards the armrest on the passenger side. May be a bit uncomfortable for the one sitting in the seat but I don't sit on that side.

Here is another, just a bit more in cost.

Yeah, the stick presents a mounting problem. I was thinking of a bracket that would allow storing the netbook in front of the large, unused part of the dash above the glove box and below the airbag:

The 'puter will weigh under 3 lbs. and be about 12" X 10" X 2" thick or less so won't need anything too beefy.

Outstanding! Thanks, mate.

You might be able to modify one of those brackets to work for you. Velcro is neat stuff!!!
I like Google

^^^ Interesting and vehicle specific no-drill mount, even better. Costs nearly as much as a netbook though.

I know not cheep, you can always use the lap of the passenger.
