    Hi,

    as my Thinkpad is going to die on me, I'm looking for a new Notebook. I'm currently favouring Dell, mainly because of their high resolution displays.
    What I would like to know, how are the displays when exposed to sunlight? Is it possible to work outside, or do I still have to confine myself to my appartement?

    Regards,
    senwong

    Anything short of a plasma screen will seem dim with direct sunlight. If it is overcast, you should be fine.

    * Inspiron 8600c * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo * 2x512 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * 60GB 7200RPM HDD *
