Everything is a compromise. The lap top is of course larger than the integrated models and even if it is bolted to the dash there is still a bounce.The LT has multi uses. GPS,With the aircard a internet connection and relieves boredom, games, etc while driving down the road. The volume (the voice) is very loud and can be heard by the driver with ease. It should be noted that the driver never looks at the PC screen. Whoever is driving can hear it but never diverts from driving by looking or inputing. The right seater is responsible for all navigation and inputing. The PC screen is turned away from the driver. The driver being able to see the GPS screen while driving was a negative. We have used both and both do the job well. We found it easier to input with the PC. Attempting to use the GPS and drive to me is the same as talking on the cell phone and driving... Just my opinion. Perhaps we are just to safety oriented.
