Got one in my 80 series. 2 mins to fit-use one front
seat bolt. I have a Toshiba Sat Pro 4600 which is a pretty big & heavy lappy. DVD's keep
cook & rear passengers entertained, (when she is not playing solitaire), hooked up some logitech Z340 mini speakers & subwoofer taht pump out apretty good sound too! There are squillions of adjustments so anyone can view screen, and the unit stood up to a bit of corrugations and average off road out of
Laverton recently. Have no doubt will withstand more, though I'll be putting a bit of foam under lappy for real rough stuff. Use a cordless infrared mouse so rear passengers/driver/whoever can drive the lappy. When top is detached from stand wouldnt know it was there as stand/stalk can be moved any direction out of the way. Little bracket available to hold screen so it doesn't flap about and break.
Expensive -yes, Could I make something like it -no, seen anything as good-no, recommend it -yes. I paid full whack and have no affiliation/loyalty to Tony from desktop solutions.

The little bracket to hold the screen, is that a standard item that come with the stand ?
I can just imagine how the screen would slam shut or fold right back on rough or corrugated roads.
Interested in the comments you made, but I agree with others, a bit pricy, will have to save up for it
