Not sure how you have those magnets attached to the tablet but if they're strong enough, you can be certain you're going to have problems with the HDD and the RAM in the future. Computers and magnets don't work well with each other., but it is pretty cool how you mounted it...that's what I'd like to have for when I travel with a GPS unit, a nice big screen.

Agreed with that. I'm going to run it a while and see how things go. Otherwise it may just be time for a double din with GPS ability

You'll most likely be fine, except maybe if the tablet has a compass: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/...s-hard-drives/

No........

Only thing I'd worry about is the glue stain left behind after the mount is removed.
Otherwise, nice set up.

This is what I use:

I'm slowly considering that it could damage the pristine interior... might need a new method. Yours doesn't seem too bad either, thank you.
