    Good morning,
    I now have a 15.4 screen, but am looking at the sr, do a lot of spreedsheet work, web development, and graphics. Was wondering if any one does this kind of work using the 13.3 screen, and how does it look. i am worried it may be too small. Went to the local box stores but they don't have any programs I use in theirs, thx for your info.

    :confused:

    If they have the same resolution (1280x800), going from 15.4" to 13.3" would be like chopping off 1.1" (vert.) and 1.8" (hori.). IMO, you should take a ruler and see if this bothers you on your 15.4". That way you can check with all your apps.

    I work on a 19" monitor at work and a SR at home with no prob but YMMV. Good luck.

    Heh...I have a 24" Dell at work, and use the SR at home. it's like cutting my screen in half :)

    I've used Excel and Word on the SR and been perfectly happy. On the other hand, I'm doing that for 30-45 minutes at a time, not multiple hours. I would see if you could go into a SonyStyle store, maybe put the SR and one of their 15.4" models side by side and see what you think.
