It used to be that to get all the computing power you needed, you needed a desktop. But would you be surprised to know that today, a notebook computer is not only as powerful but is even more useful?
There are a number of GPS systems that are sold as individual hand-held devices, and there are even some phones with the feature built in. But for automobiles, virtually every manufacturer now installs them as an option. Many of them are provided by major electronic manufacturers as OEM items.
So as you look at that big clunker taking up all the desk space, why not consider a notebook computer?
Although DVD burners use to be on the high end of computer hardware, now days they are relatively inexpensive to purchase. Most internal DVD-Rs only cost about $30-50 dollars and you can purchase them online at places such as http://NewEgg.com.
And that's a pretty good rule of thumb to use in defining it. A notebook is about the size of a sheet of 9-by-11-inch note paper and generally about an inch-and-a-half thick and less five pounds in weight. Anything bigger than that can reliably be called a laptop. Other than size, there are no other significant differences between a laptop and notebook so if you want to use the same term for both, no one is going to quibble.
In this case, the specifics on directions are downloaded from the OnStar service. A driver pushes the OnStar button, and then tells an OnStar operator where he or she is going. The appropriate directional information is downloaded in a matter of moments to your car's GPS device. The directions are displayed in text on the dashboard monitor, and there is also a voice prompting you to make the correct turns.
