Tried this over in Tow Rigs and didn't get any response, so I thought I would try over here. :)
I just got a 1999 Suburban and want to add a dvd player for the kids. I've heard it is better to get a laptop computer. Any Pro's and Con's on either setup? And, what setup would you recommend?
Thanks for any replies,
Jerry
have you checked out any overhead consules at best buy??

It is a pain to go the laptop route, not as friendly as having a DVD installed in the SUV. I did this for a while, then I finally got off my lazy azz and installed one. Much easier for the kids to use and I even installed an X-Box for the kids because the ride to Havi is longer than one movie.

Thanks, I will check the ones at Best Buy. I can't spend too much, which brand gives you the most bang for the buck?
Thanks again,

try a few places best buy, circuit city, fry etc. most will have overhead consoles with built in dvd players. a laptop would work but a pain to figure out where its gunna sit and all that.
Target has a 2 DVD/2 screen system for between $175-$250, depends if you catch it on sale. Kids can watch 2 separate movies at once. In fact Target has several systems, all reasonably priced. I think they are Kawasaki (WTF?).
The laptop is nice, but a pain in the arse. All that bumping around can't be good on the screen hinges.
