Truck Laptop Desk Improves Client Relations
by Merv Carlson
Truck desks for laptops allow you to instantly have access to client files right on the road back and forth to the office, or on the job site. Today more and more professionals are having to commute and or are working from a home and or a truck mobile office a large portion of the time and we have all experienced this scenario - an important customer calls your cellular, they have sent some files to your email and would like an answer quickly, in almost all cases, you have to delay the response until you get back to the office, this could be an hour.
Car laptop stands allow you to be able to pull over, open the laptop, connect through your cellular phone to the internet, download the file using your email program, take a quick look at the clients file and details, answer any questions typing easily with the laptop positioned right where you need it, as most stands are articulating and then send the email. You can easily save a major project from collapse with this technology and combination of products, the laptop, your new truck laptop desk, a cellular.
Cellphones have improved the communications immensely, now with our reliance on email as well there is no reason for mobile professionals and business owners not to have both working all the time. Many is the time sales people will be making calls and need to pull up a business owners past files, with a car laptop mount it is very easy, the laptop is right there beside you, open it up, look up your client history, then go in and make the sales call, it's much better than trying to work off the seat.
Laptop GPS systems have considerably improved our ability to get to an important meeting or presentation. We have all ran short of time trying to find an address and made many trips around the block not quite sure where we were, with a GPS UNIT hooked right to your laptop, open the computer screen, you can easily navigate using the laptop and gps to get to the meeting on time. Most of the Professional quality laptop desk systems allow the screen to remain open, this way you can use a GPS software to assist you in navigating to the client's office.
Truck notebook stands are now available with an optional printer bracket so you can carry a mobile printer like the hp 460 right with you. You could perform a quote, enter the details right on location into your computer and then print the quote out on your mobile printer and hand it to the client on the spot, in many cases getting a confirmation right there. A caution on this type of mounting system, get an upright that is strong enough to hold the printer, if they don't specify that they can hold the weight, don't purchase it, it will only cause grief. You want a professional desk that is developed to withstand the additional wieght of the portable printers like the HP460.
Truck computer stands utilize the flat area to install using self tapping metal screws, however, in most cases there is an option to purchase what's called the no-drill model, or custom model. This option allows you to remove the existing passenger seat mounting nuts and then install this custom bracket which is made to fit your seat bolt pattern. Be sure to specify this when purchasing, this allows you to retighten the bracket firmly locking your mounting base onto the passenger seat bolts making a secure mounting location for the rest of the desk.
You would then position the notebook desk on top of the custom base and follow the manufacturers instructions to assemble the rest of the desk, most are only a few pieces and take minutes to install. High quality mounting systems allow for almost infinite positioning of the desktop, thus using the laptop is much easier. Be sure to see if the keyboard can be reached from both sides of the automobile, used from outside the truck and how long it takes to remove.
Truck center consoles bring into question another area you'll need to check, make sure the upright center rod is of high quality and heavy enough to handle the flexing when you lift the desk up to rise over a console. You'll need a mount in some cases to reach up to 26", there are only a limited few that can do this, be sure to check this out. What your looking for is the hieght adjustment measurement, or extension length, ask the supplier, or see if they list it on the description. Again, if it's only ten inches, or even 18", keep looking.
All in all laptop truck desks are creating satisfied customers and improving relationships, increasing efficiency and improving the bottom line.
