2 Form Factors

2-22

Laptop PC

The MathWorks does not recommend using a laptop PC as the target platform.

The reasons include:

• You can only expand the functionality of a laptop PC I/O with PCMCIA

cards. A standard laptop PC can accommodate one Type III or two Type II

PCMCIA cards, giving you very limited I/O expandability.

• Vendors offer only a small selection of I/O types as PCMCIA cards.

• Because of their small size, PCMCIA cards have fragile I/O connectors.

• Standard laptop PCs are not as rugged as they appear, and they cannot

operate in extended temperature ranges. CompactPCI, PC/104, Single Board

Computers (SBC), and all-in-one embedded PC computers are a better

alternative.

• Standard laptop PCs with an open display are not as convenient as they may

appear. CompactPCI, PC/104, Single Board Computers (SBC), and all-in-one

embedded PCs have a more versatile height-width-length ratio.

The laptop PC, however, is a very attractive form factor for the host PC in an

xPC Target configuration. For mobile or in-vehicle applications, the use of a

laptop as the host PC is superior to other form factors.
