Hey all, I'm pretty new here, but here is my off topic post:
I'm in the market for a new laptop for myself, but I'm not exactly rich. I'm doing my best to research things, and I do have a strong knowledge of computers, but this will be my first laptop I've ever owned.
I don't need to game off it, and I don't need a huge screen. I usually use PC's, but I also like Linux, and I know Mac OS X is powerful and nice to look at.
I need a system that's about 1ghz in processing power (p3, not celeron), and 256 megs of ram, that is upgradable of course.
The problem I am having is that I just realized that some laptop screens are TERRIBLE in daylight. This will not do, as my laptop will be used 90% of the time in daylight, or in bright areas.
Does anyone know anything about a site that reviews laptop screens for how good they do in daylight / peripheral vision? Or perhaps some rating system that could help me figure out if one laptop is great in daylight, and others suck?
I found some site talking about a new projection screen sony made that works perfectly in daylight, but this is pretty new technology and they haven't even decided how to market it yet, so I doubt that's too helpful to me.
Anyone out there know about this kind of thing?
