I need to find a small laptop that will display a page in its entirety (without cutting off the sides or bottom and needing to scroll). Was told by the tech folks I need a 1024 x 768. We have a laptop with 1366 x 768 and it can't display the full page. I see that resolution can be adjusted but if I adjust to 1024 x 768 I just get bigger text, spread wider. How do I figure out what laptop to look for? Not computer savvy at all.....

When you search for a laptop, look for one that has a resolution of 1920x1200. Sometimes instead of listing the resolution, they call it WUXGA. Just like VGA stands for 640x480 and SVGA stands for 800x600. I hope that helps.

I would look for a notebook with a WUXGA screen size, which is 1920x1200. I have a Dell XPS at that resolution and it's great!! I can have multiple windows open at the same time and it displays a lot. They are a little tough to find, but if you narrow the search parameters down on most shopping sites like Newegg, you can find them. Hope this helps.
