I have been using my laptop in the car for over a year now. In the beginning, I just put the laptop on my passenger seat, but after it fell to the floor, I knew I needed something differerent. I searched Yahoo to find a laptop stand, but I couldn't find any for less than $200, until I found
www.mobilelaptopmount.com
For just $25 plus shipping, I got a very strong, sturdy laptop mount. It was easy to install and because it is made from parts you can get at any Home Store, I was able to customize it to the exact size I needed.
I travel a lot for business, so I use my laptop for GPS, Music, and Internet. I could not imagine driving without it now.
Also, as an added extra bonus, I play DVD Movies for the kids on those long weekend drives.
So, if you want to get your laptop off the front seat, this is a great low cost solution.
