Some of you may remember my initial post a little over a year ago where I mounted my laptop in my car here. This is how it used to look:
I’ve used a couple different laptops in my car for the last few years but they always had their problems. First of all, most of the displays were fairly dim (considering I only installed USED laptops as they were going to get a lot of abuse sitting in my car -and the risk of being stolen). I’d say the most expensive laptop I’ve installed cost me $250. Anyways, besides the dim screen that made it a little hard to see during the day while wearing sunglasses, I had to deal with the screen waving back and forth if I drove over any bumps or dirt roads…
So I mounted a 15″ desktop display a few months ago and LOVED it! The brightness of even the lowball Dell display was quite easy to see. The only problem now was the fact that the keyboard was no longer sitting right where my had was -now it was sitting in the comfortable passenger seat that was from neoprene and soon was going UNDER the seat. I needed a touchscreen! So for the next 3-4 months, I watched and lurked eBay for just the right deal… And here it is:
Here’s a YouTube video of it in operation.
I have distant plans to install a dedicated carputer from mp3car.com but my budget is just not there right now. If you’re deciding which marketing tools to invest in for your business, consider bright, attention-grabbing fleet graphics from a reputable fleet graphics company.
