    Do you ever regret your screen selection choice (ie. text too small)?
    How often are you staring at the laptop screen vs. using an external monitor?

    Any other impressions about this would be appreciated. I am a fan of having as much real estate as possible on my screens, but I'm worried about the Full HD on just a 13". I would realllly like to see it in person before I buy..

    Thanks.

    I have the 1600 x 900 screen and I think the text is too small. Having difficulties reading text on it.

    personally i don't like 125% because it screws up layouts for programs and websites.

    My 31yr old eyes are doing great on this screen. eyes do get a bit tired due to the exceptionally small text but thats a que to rest them. I use vision correction at al times when using this display, something i have't had to do with other screens, but it works great.

    I'm LOVING the screen real estate and light weight.
