I wish that you could see laptop screens better outside. It's a beautiful day here, in the high 70s, and I want to hang out on my front porch and work, rather than havin got sit in the house, but the laptop screen is hard to see with all of the light outside and the reflecting light off of me and my white shirt (and a dark shirt will help some but not much). I'm just sad, that's all. :cry:

They make better screens but they are reallly expensive

Hmm, if I could just convince work to replace my laptop...

Well mine works fine outside but because of allofthe ambient light outside it makes the screen hard to see.

Sit in the shade? :p Maybe try turning the brightness of the screen up too, I can do that on my laptop.

I did turn up my brightness all the way, and it made it a little better, but still not enough.

And yeah, I'm sitting the shade. I know better than to sit in the sun for very long with a laptop.

Half of the reason to use a computer is to AVOID going outside anyways.

But I'm starting to burn even under the florescent lights so I figured that I had better get that base tan back up to snuff. ;)

The comforting glow of the computer monitor is all the light anyone needs.

The comforting glow of the computer monitor is all the light anyone needs.Plus the keyboard light built into the top of the screen of my laptop - the screen can't be angled quite right for both enough light shining on the keys to see what's what and enough space above the keys for comfortable typing at the same time :p

I just wish it was warm enough here to be outside with a computer.

That's why God invented little nubs to put on the home row, so you don't need to see your keyboard.

I type weirdly though so they don't help me at all :p I can't touch type :p

The reason you can't see your laptop monitor is because you lack ram
