    Hi,

    I have an ultraportable 3.7 lbs toughbook cf-y5. I would like to mount it in my saab 900. It being so light and me being poor, I thought I could find a decent new or used mount that works well for not too much dough. I've been looking at http://easylaptopmounts.com , but cannot find any reviews. The car is a clutch. I do want it to be non obtrusive to passengers. Anybody wanna chime in with some advice for me?

    That looks so simple that you could easily make your own to save some money. Hardest part would be finding suitable arm / mounting kit.

    Piece of plexiglass, bent little on one end with heat gun, drill it full of holes near your laptops airvents, then add mounting kit to the mix...

    For $40, sometimes it's nice not having to spend the time to go shopping to make such a thing. I have too many other projects I'm working on, and to buy something prefabbed would be nice.
