Hello gw20044002, I have found the perfect solution for your laptop
mounting. I checked with Precor and found that the handrail tube for
your 5.21si is 1.5 inch diameter. "Interactive Products Corporation"
makes a mount that will fit your 1.5 inch tube. I talked with Mark at
IPC and got the following info:

Price: $229.95 Delivered (UPS Ground)
Mark was very helpful and if you have any questions he will be glad to help.

Hi, thanks for the quick response but when I said "affordable" I was
thinking less than $50. $229 seems like more than "affordable". thanks

Sorry, I wrote "inexpensive" not affordable. Same idea.

The price sounded very good to me. I wouldn't put my expensive laptop
on a $50 "shelf". Fifty bucks doesn't buy much these days. I stand by
my solution.

Can you please find something less expensive. Even under $100.

I tried very hard to find the mount that I found. I called several
manufacturers after I had tried many searches to locate some
possibilities. I am fairly certain that you will not find a
manufactured bracket to suit your purpose any less expensive than what
I have found. People are not shy about offering comments even after a
question has been answered and I notice that no other researcher has
found anything better. If you were to find a local craftsman to
fabricate a bracket for you, I doubt that they could beat the price.
What you seek, even though it may seem simple to you, is a fairly
tough problem. It must be adjustable, mount to your existing
equipment, and be sturdy enough not to dump your laptop when
exercising. I am a mechanical engineer and I can appreciate how hard
it would be to build what you want. I am sorry that you are not
satisfied with the price, but I don't know of any other way to help
you.
