Why would you want a computer mount when using your computer in a vehicle? The answer is simple - you can't afford not to! Safety is one of the top reasons to use a computer vehicle mount. Your computer, or your employer's computer, becomes a very dangerous object at unexpected times. Also, the computer itself can be damaged, causing down time and costly repairs.

Our top three manufacturers are: Gamber Johnson, RAM, and Havis.

Wondering if a Semi-Rugged Laptop Meets Your Needs?

What is Semi-Rugged? 

Semi-rugged laptops are typically commercial computers, with standard, off-the-shelf components that have been enhanced for rugged use. This ruggedization normally entails a magnesium case, a shock or gel-mounted hard drive and a spill-proof keyboard.


Panasonic Toughbook 53
Enhanced Performance and Versatility 
The Toughbook 53 semi-rugged notebook  has a Magnesium alloy chassis, which is much more durable than plastic or aluminum and provides extra protection from bumps and bangs. The semi-rugged classification refers to the fact that the Toughbook 53 is not sealed against the outdoor elements. It meets military standard MIL-STD-810G for altitude (up to 15,000 ft), humidity, and dust. It can also handle being dropped on six sides from 30 inches. It has a spill-resistant keyboard and a built-in handle. The Toughbook 53's shock-mounted hard drive with quick release can handle bumps and vibrations to keep your important data safe. Read More...
