That would look nice sitting next to a nice Rocky Fosgate

That is damn sweet! Certainly wouldn't stick out in a boot amongst the other ICE.

Very nice, about time someone came out with a small footprint well-specced car PC.

The only thing that I think they could have done better would have been to have WiFi built-in with a port on the side to allow for an extended antenna to the cars roof. What's the point of a car PC w/o the internet??

I guess a feasible way for connectivity would to run a USB extension cable up to the kawkpit near the center console area where you could plug in your data-enabled cell phone to use as a gateway for internet which would give you a more consistent connection whilst moving.

Someone who wants to play decent games, watch TV, surf the net using a proper browser, have a screen bigger than 3", be able to use normal applications, integrate it into their sound system...would be my guess

Be nice in something van sized I guess

I was just thinking that there's not much space in a car for a screen etc.

Man I had 4 in one of my old cars

i think the only think i would ever use these for is if i mod my car when im older and get a nice 30inch lcd (in the boot) and use one of these on them

 

[FarFarAway]

Aye that's the one. I had an LCD in the dash, one in each headrest and one in the boot

 

[Ham]

Thats brilliant. its going to cost the same as a decent laptop though i bet.

 

[Toxcity]

Its beautiful!

I would love to have that in my Motorcar!

bit like the voompc enclosure. pc's in cars are good thing, all the things you can do when tying it in with the ecu.

If you could train Vista's voice-recognition well enough you could easily do without the keyboard completely and just go with a touchscreen + voice. No mouse or keyboard required Unless u wanted to play games of course.

You could play hangman or countdown or other word based games.
