compare Car DVD GPS with Car PC

According to the development of the technology,it is more and more popular to improve the entertainment function in people's own car. More people turn their attention to the entertainment device when they want to purchase the cars. In last 10 years,Car DVD as a new way of amusement device installed with the car,which catched most people attention. Up to now, it has become one of the most popular entertainment devices in the car. Car Pc as the other new amusement device after Car DVD.Who will be with more advantage, when compare car pc with car dvd.

1.Way of entertainment
Car DVD offer DVD/CD player function,achieved the video entertainment.But when compare with Car PC,its entertaiment function seem rare,specially during the peoples' long travel.People who sit on the passenger seat usually will feel bored,after they have watch video or listen the radio for a long time. So,thinking from another perspective,if Play game or chat with other friends through internet will become the most desire entertaiment way they want?

Car PC provides audio and video entertainment, internet games, Internet entertainment and more other kinds of entertainment.Also,based on a powerful computer platforms, Car PC integrate IPOD, Mobile DVD, PSP game,notebook computer and other digital entertainment function and make life seem more funny in the car by use car pc to watch DVD,listen to Radio,play game or read news through internet,chatting with friends.

2.Read GPS while watching movies
Many car DVD install with GPS,achieved this by embedded a PDA hardware platform in to the dvd. Although it with big screen but with low resolution, so the pattern from the dvd seem a little illegibility. Also, the maps for dvd GPS is saved in the SD Card,so,it seem a little trouble some for maps upgrade.

For many user,between DVD function and GPS function, usually they just choose one in the daily use. As you knowed, when we drive our car in the high way road and afraid we miss the exit,so we have to open the gps. Before arrive at our exit,there is a little long time for us to enjoy the other function from the DVD.but for the exit,we missing this chance.

Car pc with strong GPS function,excluding it,user can run GPS and watching DVD in the same time. With its powerful multi-programm processor function from the computer,user can use the GPS function in the background while enjoy the video or radio from the foreground at the same time.

3.Satisfy different people at the same time
Usually,car dvd was fitted in the car,passenger in the car need to enjoy the same entertainment at the same time.If you have other requirement different with them,Car dvd can't do this special for you.But as per as car pc,different people can do different thing,such as the driver can read the GPS,passenger from the passenger seat can watch TV and other people can play game by the double screen from the car pc at the same time.

But, the car dvd is more cheaper than the car pc. We can find from the google.com, car pc charge more than USD1200/PCS while the car dvd will charge more or less USD500. Their two times different. For example, Car PC for the toyota camry need USD1195, Car dvd for the toyota camry just need USD300 from the same place In Car PC| In Car| Flip Down | Honda| Mazda| Chevrolet| Ford DVD| Nissan| Headrest| DVD Player| GPS| Car Navigation System

So,Carrot and Chinese cabbage have their own fans,just depend on what you like.
