Default Laptop in a C4?????

Who uses their laptop in their C4? Is there a good stand anyone would recomend or do you just let the thing sit on the seat next to you? Pics would help if you can get them. Thanks. :cheers:

Do you have any pics?? I ordered a cheap one off ebay for $20, but I was figureing I'd have to make some kind of mods to it to get it to work right.

As for the turbo project, do a search for "Beltless Boost".

I'm a college student studying Computer engineering. I constantly in need of lap top anywhere. So, I use laptop in my C4. It's kind of hard to use because of interior space and bucket seats. Also, if possible use the laptop battery and try not to use your laptop pluged into the vette for more than 4 hours without engine running; it drains battery quickly. :auto:

Well, I need to get it for tuning, but since Im' going to get one just for my car, why not make it have the mp3's and dvd player on it. My mom had a tv in her minivan, it's great to listen to a movie while driving on long trips.

Oh yeah, and a map program for when I get lost :rolleyes:
