If you get a laptop or a CarPC sunlight on the screen won't be a problem.

Hopefully won't crash or fall over in our LC - don't forget this is a 4WD section ;-)

For me, in a car, a decent laptop setup or CarPC will always win hands down - you can do more with it and see more of the map atr a time on the screen, which is easier to read when driving along.
Yes there are security issues and you need to hide it away when you stop, which you most likely will have to do with the Garmin anyway.
As a portable backup, I have a PDA phone and a bluetooth GPS, running a cut down versions of the mapping software on the laptop.
