I'm a Network system administrator & computer consultant. I also deal with computers. I like toying with the idea of putting a computer in, for 1, I don't have to bring my laptop in with me all the time.

Actually, with the operating systems and software available now, last years computers are sufficient enough to run them. You only need faster systems if you plan to do Audio/Video editing, Graphic design, or if you want to run business systems. I'm sure GTCruiser2003, isn't planning for any of the above. Most "CarPuters" are actually used mainly for listening to MP3s. Where else can you store almost millions of songs in a limited amount of space. With him installing a Wi-Fi card, he would just have to park it in the garage, download music from the internet or his computer at home, and can listen to days and days of his favorite music, commercial free.

For my purpose, I will mainly be using it with my DigiMoto software. With me being a computer geek, I always need to read my emails or access the internet. I have my own computer network with several computers at home, ranging from a desktop with Pentium II 450Mhz to a laptop with Intel Celeron 1.4Ghz. I can use any of them for general purpose (Surfing, emails, viewing photos, etc.), but only use my laptop for editing photos or burning DVDs.
