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?

 

Try this???

sweet. kind of a pita if u have a stick though.... wouldnt it?

 

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.

 

I developed a mount that you can just hang on the steering wheel when you need to get some work done thats inexpensive. You can check it out by searching SWWS Laptop Mount. I'm in sales and could not deal will the twisting over to the center console or drivers seat to enter data. Its not to be use while driving, the above mounts could be to tempting to use while driving...for some.
All the best,
