OnBoard Laptop

[GabAlmighty]

Any body heard of this? Someone mentioned it a couple days ago as a joke and then I started thinking. Like permanently mount the laptop on the dash somewhere, and cut out a piece of the dash in it so that when it's closed you can't tell anything and have it start up when the car starts up/when you decide to turn it on, essentially have it constantly hooked up to MS or what have you. Also "permanent" meaning semi-permanent as everyone knows how flaky some laptops can be. Any help on this would be nice

Been done before with touch screens, mount the rest somewhere else in the car

Some carputers can be pretty crazy and cool. Like a mini computer in the glove box and a screen mounted somewere in the console

Mark (therealmark) has a carputer and he is right up there somewhere. Touchscreen and everything too I think.
