If you want quality go with Dell or HP! Stay away from the cheap ones like ACER or emachines! The Dell or HP are worth every penny if ya ask me!

I'll second that on the HP. I've had my HP Pavilion DV8000 in the truck now for 2 years and it's still perfect.

Actually, my next computer for the truck won't be a laptop. I've been looking into car pc's. These are computers designed to run on the 12v system and can handle the dust, bumps, etc.

Here's the computer:
http://store.mp3car.com/Mp3Car_Custo..._p/ccc-121.htm

The monitor will probably be a 19", possibly 21". I'll add a second video card to it to run the touchscreen monitor I already have in the front.

With everything needed it should cost me in the range of $1,400-1,500 to do it, which is what I paid for my laptop.
