I sit it in the seat and it stays there. Wish I had a nice police style one, though.

Here is a police style one for under $200 shipped. What a deal. Plus there are no bolts and pretty good passenger room.

Hey Ed, that looks pretty nice
Does it require drilling?
Is there still room for the passenger?
Thanks man

I'm not Ed but I'll chime in.

1) No drilling required. Uses factor front bolt/nuts on seat bracket.

2) Depends. If you wonder if a passenger can sit there while you have the computer, yes. Is there a lot of room, no. You can remove the pedistal and assembly in less then 5mins if you want to haul a passenger. I keep mine in my car all the time unless I know I will have someone with me then I just take it out.

No pics, but I have a Jotto Desk. Very high quality.

Ed or Black02SS: Do you know if your mount will fit a large 17" laptop?

I don't see why it wouldn't. You can adjust the straps that hold the base of the computer to the base of the stand. If the base of your laptop is wider then the stand, I assume you can just adjust the straps. If you want to measure how wide yours is I can go out and measure my base for you.

The Jotto Desk laptop base dimensions are:

10" x 12" x 1"
ABS plastic desktop with 1/4" thick wall
6" square 11 gauge steel mounting plate
5/8" aluminum post connector.

I have a 15 inch laptop. You will have overhang, that is all.

I suggest you get an optional Screen Holder (for your 17 inch) screen. The bigger the screen, the more weight. It's going to want to close on you when driving (especially fast stops and starts). The screenholder holds the screen open.

Vist the Jotto Desk site for pictures and videos.

Or....save the money you will use to purchase the computer stand and use it to upgrade to the EFI live handheld.

My screen is only a 14" I think and I am going to purchase this for mine. I have the same problem.
