Seems that laptop computers are much more affordable, powerful and versitile as the main electronics "monitor" for a boat. Has anyone figured out a way to waterproof a laptop for a center console? I know there are increasingly more programs for which a laptop can take the place of stand alone electronics such as GPS and plotting, are there any others that are affordable? I have a feeling in 10 years, we will be using essentially a laptop for marine electronics instead of all the overpriced stuff we are stuck with now....maybe that's why Garmin and RayMarine are moving to sell waterproof monitors with plug and play electronic sensors.
