Condelli/DashTablet#_ (http://picasaweb.google.ca/FCondelli/DashTablet)     I made it from
plywood and pine boards for the edging and  support to fit my 15.4 laptop and
some space on the side to hold other  junk.  It is secured to the dash by a
long drywall screw into a small board  wedged in the ash try hole.  Couple of
turns of the big screw and  it's outta there.  I originally had it fitted
with Velcro but in the  hot Mexican sun the Velcro would come unglued.  Not a
pretty site.   When the laptop's not there it's a convenient place to stash
all other sorts of  junk you NEED on your dash !  Laptop cannot have one of
those new shiny  screens to be visible in daylight.  Laptop tray and laptop
must be  configured so that they allow the laptop to be open and readable
without the lid banging against the windshield.  Laptop must be a sort that
can take some rough usage or you will need some foam suspension that allows
the  fan to work properly under it, otherwise you will eventually kill the
hard  drive.  I'm using a Lenova T500 that has a shock absorbing hard drive,
so far so good, going on one year plus of use !
