Am used to using desktop...just switched to a 15.5" laptop as a desktop replacement but am having difficulty viewing the screen and fonts clearly. Have tried all sorts of adjustments and zooming but it hasn't been too helpful. I do lots of document work and internet research and email work. Am considering returning the laptop and getting a 17" replacement but am wondering if that will make a big difference? Does anyone know? I understand the screen resolution is better in the 17" screens too.
My 15.5's resolution is 1366 x 768.
Another option would be to buy an external monitor to attach but I understand that would just make what I see on my screen now larger...not necessarily clearer.
Should I have ordered a better graphics card with my laptop...Would that have helped with viewing type?
Probablly a this point my best options are to exchange the 15" for a 17" but unfortunately the silver-white color is not available in the 17" (Sony Vaio EB.)....Or to buy an external monitor to attach (would this not be as clear visually as the 17" laptop?) Or start from scratch and get another desktop but I don't think I really want to do that.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge in this area, I would be grateful to hear your view. Thanks so much.
(Another factor is that I've had a few problems with the laptop out of the box, which a Sony tech is scheduled to come repair.)
