I would like to mount the laptop upside down on the hardtop and use software to turn the image over. Then the screen would swing down. A cordless mouse and cordless compact keyboard. I can talk to my DeLorme mapping software so a ceiling mounted boom mike would do.
Out of the way, flip down the screen when needed. A small screen notebook pc would probably be best. Hmmmm.....

I have a Lenovo (IBM) that is very small for a laptop. It only weighs about 3lbs, even with a larger battery. It would be perfect for this type of application. Its lighter weight would require less bracing and a less intrusive mount. Its narrower width would enable it to fit in a way that would at least reduce the air bag risk.
Honestly, the air bag is more of a risk driving to and from the areas you would want to explore. What are you going to do on the trail that will cause an
airbag deployment anyway?
Sony also makes a superlight and small Vaio.
