In my iopinion cheaper is better if you plan on leaving it in the vehicle. Hate to see some scum bag steal a big money laptop. You can get used toughbooks for pretty reasonable prices. I chose a compaq with a 12" lcd for my use and got the mount on eBay. It was less expensive than the RAM by far and Ive used it with no issue for 2 years.

another question, is it still comfortable for the passenger to sit in the seat as well or no ??

No issues I've had a 230lb guy sit there.

The 12" is perfect for the truck and some of the new "netbooks" are 10" or less. They are small, light, cheap and have a solid state hard drive. On extreme cold days my HDD wouldn't spin up until it got some heat. The downside is for home or school they are too small and they don't have a built in cd/dvd drive. My mount sits very close to center right over the shifter. Since my shift interlock has been disabled I just grab the shifter and pull it into gear. I don't have to push in the lock button.
