        I have made a table for my  laptop so it sits flat on the dash above
the ashtray.  It does not block  vision and is quite easy to read and operate
the key board and mouse while  driving as it's forward and keep you looking
forward.  Screen folds down  when not in use.  No shroud needed with my old
laptop but on some newer  laptops with those glossy screens it may be a problem.
Being dead centre  on the dash means the co-pilot can operate the machine as
well.  See pics  here >>

>>>>>>>BTW,
unless you have a navigator in the  passenger seat or can position the laptop
high and center of the dash it  can be dangerous as hell to try to see the
laptop screen while  driving.  And you may also need some kind of shroud
around the screen  to see it clearly in the  daylight.<<<<<<<<<<<
