Are you wanting to integrate a computer into your car, or are you just look at putting a laptop somewhere?

You could probably modify your glovebox compartment into a PC and use a fold up keyboard, also use one of those DVD monitors, a little small but would fit nice in the centre console

my first post is sh0rt and sweet why the need for a 20 page post pritty much just sayin i want a lap top in a ute

My two cents.
Yes the original post sounds at least weird.
But then again, can anyone deny the advancement of the overall auto in just our lifetime.
I paused to wonder what people in their time said of "you mean I start it from my seat?" Or...."power seats and windows???" Or ......
Hell, look back at the auto's evolution. What seems completely obvious to us now....at one point was ridiculed.
Just don't be too quick to shut down the free and "crazy" thinkers (no matter if they do not know what a spellcheck is or for).
Ideas....... begat ideas....... begat......


I DID do a speel check on "begat"........ "butgot" no final answer

I think he needs the computer for the spell check and grammar check?

thanks 120fly thats what i was lookin for but i want it to fit in real nice s0rta was thinkin the keyboard in the glove box so you flip it d0wn and type then extend the the screen to somewhere else and the cam in the front is a mad idea might do that, but i dont know where to mount the screen its 12"

Correct me if I am wrong but werent laptops designed to be mobile and run on a battery pack?

If you want a desktop PC in your car it would be easy enough, the computer runs off 12v anyway.

Something tells me you dont want the laptop for any of these suggestions. But untill you explain what you actually want to achieve, I think you will only get smartarse answers from us dumb people.

All you need is a "power inverter" that supplies enough watts or amps to run the laptop. They are about $40 USD. They connect to the 12V battery, and output 120V so you just use the standard laptop AC adapter.

Use a Microsoft Smartphone as your USB wireless modem, and you can surf Datsun1200 all day long (using your Telstra account or other favorite phone company).

yeah ok fair enough now the jokins over sorry .........on aserius note speak to an auto electrician and ask what type 12 v to 240v converters are available a friend of mine whos real cluey ran a 240v system in his bedford was able torun tv with a play station now he has a vs commo with one of those dvd ,video all in one player mounted on the parcel shelf with a 7inch flat screen on the dash ...and now for the trick bit he mounted a pretty decent camera on the bumper and you can watch the screen and record the drive .......you also need to look at different altanator and i know he runs 2 dry batteries not cheep ..........cheers hope this was more helpful.............

dont think i asked for your opinion on the whole idea i asked for help if you dont have any ideas dont waste your time writing to me simple give me a idea or dont worry about it

post retracted ......maybe ishould be more useful and not such a dumb arse sorry lads ......
