Laptop Mount
In today’s technological age, many people rely on computers to do their jobs, keep records and more. And when you’re in your vehicle, it can be challenging to work on your laptop while it’s perched in your lap. Not only does that position cause strain on the wrists, neck, back and shoulders, it’s also not good for the computer. The fan doesn’t circulate air as well while the computer is on your lap as it does when the laptop is on a hard, flat surface, and could result in overheated components and a fried machine.
A laptop mount addresses all the logistical issues of mobile computing. No matter what industry you work in, whether it’s law enforcement, emergency medical response, journalism, storm chasing or mobile sales, a laptop mount makes it easier, healthier and more convenient to work on the go.
There are a variety of laptop mounts available for many makes and models of vehicle. Many laptop mounts bolt directly to the seat frame and require no holes to be drilled.
D.R. Ebel carries laptop mounts that can be installed in a variety of vehicles including RV’s, GMC, Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet. The laptop mount systems can be used in personal vehicles, recreational vehicles, law enforcement vehicles, news vehicles, research vehicles and emergency medical response vehicles. Even municipalities will find the laptop mounts ergonomic and convenient. For example, the city planning office can update records, scale models and maps on site rather than waiting until the worker gets back to the office. The convenience of having a computer handy at all time is that data can be input when it is freshest and most correct, reducing the chance of errors in reporting.
When using a notebook computer attached to a laptop mount system, the end user can sit comfortably in either the passenger’s seat or the driver’ seat. And because the laptop mount is anchored to the passenger seat frame, the end user can also work standing outside the passenger door. The laptop mount features an adjustable stand height, and when it is not in use, the stand can be removed from the base in only a few seconds. The laptop mount also allows for the computer screen to be stored up against the dash when not in use.
RVers can also work comfortably on a notebook computer with a Jotto Desk laptop mount system from D.R. Ebel. This laptop mount system utilizes a cable-dock securing system. Two nylon-coated steel cables wrap up and over the keyboard, securing it to the laptop mount. The Jotto Desk laptop mount also features an articulated swing arm so the computer can be maneuvered into a comfortable operating position. The stand height is fully adjustable, and when the Jotto Desk laptop mount is not in use, the stand can be removed from the universal floor base in only a few seconds.
Laptop mounts are suitable for a variety of laptops computers from thin and sleek laptops to rugged toughbooks. Laptop mounts are also perfect for specially designed computers with separate screen and keyboard components, like those designed for use in law enforcement vehicles.
Installation of the Jotto Desk laptop mount is simple. It secures to the floorboard of the RV using self-tapping screws. There’s no pre-drilling necessary, and although installing this laptop mount is a do-it-yourself job, D.R.Ebel offers installation services for personal, municipal and emergency response vehicles.
