    Default Vehicle laptop mount?

    I'm on the road constantly for work. Pulling over to send a contract or an email is a regular affair and I'm getting weary of throwing my laptop in my lap. I'm thinking a vehicle mount would be much more convenient.

    Any of you guys got experience with one of these vehicle mounts for a laptop? Tell me your experience, what product you prefer and why you like it or don't like it.

    Thanks.

    RAM Mount looks sturdy and functional. I use 3 of 'em and don't have any complaints yet; granted, none are for laptops.

    I looked at the Rams, they seem to make solid products. I have a couple on the boat and have been pleased.

    Several guys in my former company used the RAM mount and then built a "computer shelf" out of a thick acrylic plastic. It had with a lip around the edge to keep the laptop in place. It worked out great and looked professional. I am no longer there or I would take a picture to upload.

    We use ram, I just installed one wednesday.

    They are sturdy, easy tp assemble and install and work well with our tough books.

    Theses are a little cheaper and work well.

    Way better than Ram. The rams are too big and bulky IMO. http://www.jottodesk.net/laptop_desk...truck_desk.htm

    FYI I've got a almost new ram mount for a 13 F250 for sale cheap. Not sure what you're driving though.

    Ram makes good stuff. Don't have experience with a laptop one though. Just PDA and an IPad.

    I have a Jotto desk in my truck. I'm surprised you haven't noticed it before now.

    I had a Jotto in my truck when I was on the road a good bit. It was solid.....

    Leaning towards the Jotto, but I'm still looking at the Ram too.
