| Why buy a single purpose
item for your car, such as a DVD player for the back seat of your car
(~$1000), or a GPS navigation system for the front seat (~$2000), when these
items can’t do anything else?
Why not have the benefit
of a real PC in your car, with these functions – and many more.
That’s the idea behind
CarXPC:
a PC for your car, truck, or SUV that can be used and enjoyed by everyone – no matter which seat they are in.
You might ask, why not
just buy a notebook PC and use it in your car? Well, have you ever tried to
work with a portable PC in your car? Just try using a GPS system, and
follow the navigation to your destination. Is your notebook in the
passenger seat? Can you see it? Not very helpful, is it? How about the
kids using your notebook to watch a DVD in the back seat? Well, that
doesn’t work very well, either. Even word processing is a chore – for a
screen tethered to a keyboard and all sitting on your lap is not very
comfortable. And getting things set-up and put away for each use is really
a pain. Have you ever seen a notebook computer go flying during a sudden
stop?
If you want the convenience
of a PC in your car, the only way to go is CarXPC. With CarXPC you can:
-
Use
a computer that is specifically designed for use in a car.
-
The
PC is secured inside your car or inside your trunk.
-
The
monitor is bright – much better than many notebooks screens for use in
varying light conditions. With a suggested resolution of 800 by 600, the monitor
can be adjusted and swiveled in all
directions for comfortable viewing (assuming appropriate mounting is
installed).
-
We suggest an 802.11g Wireless
capability, so you can update your CarXPC at
your office or home with ease. Or you can use your phone company's wireless data connection – for access anywhere your
wireless service is offered.
-
We’ve chosen a compact
wireless keyboard with an integrated mouse for CarXPC.
The keyboard can be used by
anyone (at any location) while riding in the car.
-
The sound from your CarXPC plays through your car's radio – so you can bring along
those MP3's (your entire library) and play them to your heart's content!
-
Any GPS system that can work
through a Windows computer’s USB port can work with CarXPC.
-
CarXPC comes standard
with a DVD/CD-RW for playing DVDs or recording or playing CDs recorder.
You can occupy the kids
with their favorite movies or music for long rides. And of course – this DVD
(and CD) player allows you to add or upgrade software as necessary – or you
can always use your wireless network
