Using laptop and correctly booting unit
I am thinking about installing a laptop in my car as the CPU, instead of using PC parts to makeup my carputer. Are there any downfalls to using a laptop over a PC ? It seems like it would be easier to use a laptop but I see more of the PC's being used.
I'm trying to think of how to conquer the following problems.
I think that I can use a power invertor to supply the power, but I don't know how or what to use to correctly power up and turn off the unit.
I think that I can hook up a bluetooth or USB hub and run infrared/wireless/bluetooth kb/mouse to interface with the unit (good idea?)
To solve the problem of a screen on a console in front of me, do the 7 in. LCD's that are popular have a VGA input that I can use with the laptop or is something else required?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Will the FM Modulator that I can just patch into the antenna work for playing audio over the speakers work?
