While vehicle-based electronic devices are hardly a new concept,
only an in-car PC can match the function and performance
of a full-fledge computer.
You can easily browse the web, receive e-mail while on the go,
and have real-time access to data and programs stored on your work PC.
You can also run any programs that run on the Windows platform.
If you are looking for the perfect mobile IT solution, these are some
reasons why getting car computers should be on top of your list.
Secure
You may be wondering about how secure is to have car computer installed
on your vehicle. Fact of the matter is, the PC, where the data will reside,
will be completely out of sight.
Rest assured that onlookers will not be able to spot a huge desktop-like computer
inside the vehicle. For added security, however, it can be bolted to the chassis of
the vehicle using anti-theft bolts.
This gives ample protection for both the hardware and the data. As for the screen,
it will be heavily integrated to the interior – making it look like part of the vehicle.
The screen, of course, can be easily removed when leaving the vehicle.
Robust
The PC part of car computer will not be handled directly by the user.
This significantly reduces the risk of accidental damage.
The only parts that the users will use are the screen and wireless keyboard.
If somehow these fail to work, which is very unlikely,
replacements will be provided swiftly.
Screen size
There are a wide range of display sizes to choose from.
You can get the screen from 6.5-inches to 15-inches – and even beyond.
It is recommended to get the screens that are designed specifically for
the car computer, such that allows to be used even under sunlight.
There are plenty of models to choose from and the screens can be easily upgraded
as your company grows.
Screen Placement
As for the placement of the touch screens, they can actually be mounted
anywhere within the vehicle. It is, however, recommended to get the in-dash model,
which can be neatly integrated into the dashboard. This means you are not required to
remove the screen while leaving the car for safety purposes.
Some screen models can also be integrated to the sun-visor, the headrest or
roof mounted. Whichever placement you choose for the screen, rest assured that
it will be done to look as professional as possible,
while taking into consideration the practicality.
Data Input and communication
The in-car PC can handle a range of data input methods depending on your need or
circumstance. These include wireless QWERTY keyboards, touch screens and
voice input and recognition systems. Data can also be communicated to
the PC via Bluetooth or using a 3G modem which will allow internet connectivity.
Performance and customisation
You can expect top notch performance from the in-car computer.
The standard specs include the use of Intel Core 2 Duo and hard drives with
storage of up to 500 GB. If you need more power and storage,
it is possible to build a more powerful system from scratch to
meet your company’s needs.

If required the in-car pc can be professionally installed thus proving you with
a a full service from manufacture to end use.
By getting an in-car computer, you can improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of your staff, especially those who must spend a good amount of
their time being on the road.
