I use a desktop at home and want to get a small laptop or netbook for
use of up to 4 hours. The spec doesn't have to be fancy - just enough
to run Windows/Ubuntu, don't need massive disk storage, to be honest
80GB is more than enough, but 2GB ram would be useful for running
multiple apps or having about ten windows open. I will probably be
running of mains adaptor so battery life is also not a major factor.
My concern is screen size - I have sensitive eyesight that means I
suffer from eye strain quite quickly. I am concerned that a small
screen, i.e. 10.1" as with many netbooks, is likely to lead to
eyestrain after only a couple of hours.
Can anyone comment on their own experiences along these lines?
