Great American Road Trip 2.0: See What’s in the Car

The Great American Road Trip 2.0 is about to kick off here at Notebooks.com and we have worked hard to pull together some of the coolest mobile tech to keep allow for a fun and connected trip. By the time you are reading this my wife and I will be on the open road for our 20-hour tip to Mount Rushmore in a car full of the coolest tech, and a pretty techy car too!
Unlike some road trip guides that are written from the couch or the cubicle we will be reviewing the technology int he field to see how it handles when you need it most. Below you’ll find the gear we have in the car, but if you’re looking for additional Summer Travel Tech equipment you should check out the guides that Kevin Purcell has written about cameras, notebooks, entertainment devices and soon the best road trip accessories.
