I bought a laptop stand from Wal-Mart for $20 or so. I bought two 10 lb weights and zip-tied them to the base to keep the stand from falling over. i have two bungies to strap the laptop to the top and it works just fine. gives me a little more counter space when i park for the night too. I wouldnt justify spending $300 for something i could get by with $30. you're paying for the name, and the bragging rights just to say 'i have a laptop mount in my truck'. Who cares......

Here are a couple of pics of my set up;
I left two of the threaded pipe connectors a little loose so I can swivel the laptop and move it closer or farther away |

I have a laptop mount that I purchased off of Ebay for $75. and I like it a lot. I didn't have to drill any holes, and the installation is really easy and quick. The best part that I like about the mount is that it can be removed in 5 seconds via quick disconnects if needed. It's height adjustable and can be configured in numerous different angles to fit your needs.
