I am looking for a Jotto Desk or similar vehicle computer mount for a laptop to fit into a 2004 GMC Yukon. I've done a Google search, found Jotto brand for $299, but I have a hard time believing they have to cost that much. If anyone knows of any surplus or similar mounts, please advise. The Gizmos that turn the passenger seat into a desk top will not work since it will be occupied.
Circuit City could clean up if they offered them for sale...:eek:

I just recently purchased a jotto desk for my vehicle. I am very pleased with its performance and ease of use. Word of advice...do not try to install it yourself, get it done by someone in the business.
it cost apx $370.00 including intall.

PM me, I might part with mine for less, as I have begun using my PDA rather than a laptop.

Where did you find one for 150?!?!.....even without the screen mount and keyboard light it's still 250 something....btw the one in the link pic is a universal....for him I would suggest a specific gmc/chevy mount.

I've found the jotto mount for my vehicle at www.gomobilenow.com but they still want $280 for my specific vehicle. I don't want to drill into my POV. These mount to the pass front seat bolts. I am simply stunned at the cost.
Planning on checking with my former agency's radio shop, who does their installs... maybe they have an extra junker or a discounted one and I can just get the base @ $105. I don't need a screen mount or keyboard light... I have a USB light and my POV doesn't have a cruisers heavy duty suspension.

$315 ?!? Not in my budget. I might have to tap into a metal fabricator I know for the base, but I wouldn't expect to have it by June...
Blah........I have installed several. Piece of cake.Yea, and you helped build a gun range or two, too, didn't ya? :eek: :D J/K

The one I linked is $150. The holes are easy to drill and when you remove it you simply vacuum the carpet and you can't tell it was there.
