CNET Reviews, January 2006:

"One of the most complete systems on the market is CarCPU's Elite system, which
offers top-rung performance and all the accessories you will need to make the
system run right."
National Post and Edmonton journal in Pimp your ride
the Matrix way, November 2004:
"Take the blue pill and the story ends. Your car remains ... just a "car." But
take the red pill -- enter the rabbit hole -- and the moniker barely describes
your mobile, all-purpose, four-wheel appliance. It's obvious which pill the
folks at QuadProg have digested -- having introduced the CarCPU Elite, a
vehicle-based, high-end computer system powered by an Intel Pentium 4, 2.8Ghz
processor. It plays MP3s and DVD video... And aside from a scary array of use,
it also sports an external GPS receiver and Street Atlas 2005 software. In fact,
it does everything but steer. And it's got so much juice, driving may become the
secondary pursuit. Which is ridiculous -- until you realize the price is on par
with plenty of products offering only a fraction of the utility. Suddenly, the
red pill isn't so bad after all."

Computing Magazine in its October 2004 issue published a 2
page review of CarCPU Elite System and gave it a grade A:
"The beauty of the CarCPU solution is that it gives you all the computing
power you could want without limiting you to some prefabricated software
solutions. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. Those CarCPU guys are true
pioneers and at the very forefront of an entirely new field of mobile
entertainment and power."
