Theres another one with less memory for $300...

Also a better one with more memory and longer bat life for $400...

Would be pretty cool. Has a video VGA out for a screen. Unpug it and take it with you wherever...

can you mold it into the dash though?

you can pick up a decent mini-itx system for ~$200ish all you'd need is a touch screen.. i'm more of a factory look guy for car pc. i'm going to build one one day.

You could toss on a USB keyboard and mouse and put the unit in the glove box... Then remove to take with you wherever. Put a screen wherever also...

As small as it is, you could practically put it in an indash pocket (found standard in many cars)... Would be interesting to use as an alternative to people that just hook up MP3 players that they take with them... Not to mention that although the harddrive is small an external could be placed next to it and it would still take up less space than a standard laptop.
