Even though when you’re in the car, either as the driver or the passenger, you’d love to be connected with your computer. The Navisurfer II is a complete personal computer that can be installed in your car and it occupies a single DIN slot only in your car’s dashboard – the space that normally occupied by a car stereo.
The Navisurfer II boasts a a flip-out touchscreen 7-inch color display, which has a nice 800 x 480 resolution. And the display can be adjusted on horizontal and vertical axes. It can run either Windows XP or Linux as the operating system. The Navisurfer II is also emphasized with those software applications that are most needed for a car, such as media player, GPS navigator, rear view camera, and application for displaying vehicle diagnostic information. Besides, it’s also equipped with game console, that you can ensure your passengers are better entertained. Some of the software applications need external Bluetooth or USB devices to work. Such as the GPS navigator needs a GPS receiver in order for it to tell your direction. And also to fulfill the camera function, you need a video camera for it.
The Navisurfer II is well protected in a shock-resistant enclosure, which makes traveling over many bumpy roads isn’t a problem at all. It’s also well designed to stand the irregular voltage that commonly seen on car’s battery. You have couple of configurations to go for, ranging from 40GB to 120GB of hard-disk based storage, and from 256MB to 512MB RAM. Prices range from $578 to $656 USD.
