    I am thinking about getting the m1210 but I'm a little worried about the 12.1" screen size. I have never owned a laptop and I'm used to my 19 inch monitor. For people who own the m1210, can you use it for long periods of time without eye strain? Is the size comfortable enough for reading detailed webpages?

    Also, does the WSXGA option make everything too tiny on such a small screen?

    the m1210 has a wxga res only, 1280 by 800,wsxga(1680 by 1050) would be counter productive on a 12.1" screen, you would need a magnifying glass to read anything at that resolution I'm more than happy with mine and use it for long periods quite often, wxga on a 12.1" screen is basically the same as viewing wsxga on a 15.4" screen

    I went from a 19'' LCD and had to acquire the taste for the m1210.
    Took a couple of days but I will never go back. Hell, I typed this on the m1210 without noticing a difference.
