    Would CF72 or CF73 be outdoor readable ?

    Hello,
    I have a couple of CF-37 but now I need to buy a notebook with LCD outdoor readable capabilities.

    I do not need a real rugged notebook but a outdoor readable one
    So let me know if you have a suggestion for a good outdoor readable notebook


    I was thinking about CF-72 or CF-73 and have some questions:

    Do these notebooks can be used in sunlight ?
    Recent outdoor readable notebook screens (Dell ATG d630 13,3") have high contrast, high nits up to 1000 and special glass coatings to allow use in sunlight.
    Would the CF-72/73 have similar performances outdoor or I should just forget it ?
    I need to look at a GPS map under sunlight, will the CF72/73 displays be enough ?

    Touchscreen will lower outdoor readability ?
    I guess that the touchscreen version should be less readable in sunlight, if needed could the touchscreen film be remove easely ?

    CF-72 vs CF-73
    I have found on Ebay two of them both with Pentium 4 1.8ghz and touchscreen , more or less at the same price, what would be better choice ?

    Thanks ! :)
