Laptop Mount for datalogging? Anyone have?

I like the thigh-support blocker idea, easy enough.

I wanna do some thorough E85 blend testing so the laptop will be in the car for quite some time... not just a couple simple WOT blasts... I wouldn't be actively monitoring it while driving, but would be nice to see it at a glance while stopped instead of craning into the passenger seat but I guess it's not that big of a deal.

Seriously though, if there is a laptop to use for dedicated datalogging, it would be the Panasonic Toughbook. We use them at work while logging data on caravans and it is also utilized by law enforcement here. These beefed up units take a serious beating; I've accidentally dropped it, banged it against other objects and used it in -35F weather with no hiccups. You can grab a refurbished unit for a few hundred dollars. A good investment if you log tons of data IMO.
