[0] Screen Mounting [Fixed (Dedicated Vehicle PC)] Our range of on-dash displays are light and compact, mainly because they don't contain any PC-related electronics (being purely screens). All models have integrated mounting slots and/or VESA mounting holes, supporting a wide range of mounting brackets. The larger screen size of our monitors means that they can be located further away from the driver than PDAs, making for a much more flexible installation while maintaining excellent usability.
PDAs and Tablets normally need to be mounted on the dashboard using a docking cradle. Because Tablets are often heavy and bulky the range of mounting options can be severely limited. For PDAs, their small screen size means they need to be mounted as close to the driver as possible, which is often impractical. Laptops are unsuited to in-vehicle use due to their extremely large physical footprint. Requiring a user to balance a hot laptop on their knees, or to twist around to view one that is resting on an adjacent seat, is no recipe for efficient or ergonomic mobile working.
