    Hi there... ok could someone please tell me the following about the E4200.

    1. Is the screen matt (I think it is) since I cannot deal with glossy screens in an office environment and are the letters too minute to read or is the high resolution (1280 x 800) ok ?

    2. I need the speaker (or speakers) for skype conversations. Are they crap or is the sound actually ok for this purpose? I am assuming this model has no webcam?

    3. Is the keyboard a 100% or more 95% or lower ?

    4. Does the battery last past 4 hours?

    Thank you

    1) The screen is matte. I don't own one of these myself, but I think 1024 x 768 on a 4:3 12" screen is fine; I don't see 1280 x 800 on a 16:10 12" screen being too bad.

    2) I bet it comes down to personal preference in the end. For example, a lot of people say the E6400 speakers suck, but I watch videos and listen to music on mine on a daily basis... they're not great, but I have no qualms with them.

    3) Should be very close to full size, at least in width.

    4) Might be close with a 4-Cell, but if an E6400 can do six hours on a 6-Cell, I don't see why the E4200 shouldn't be able to do four on the 4-Cell.
