My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

I just rebooted, same problem, in fact, I could say that fonts look even worse. I am telling you, it is not the font rendering that is in fault, it is the LCD screen quality.
Now, I can see a bit red colors around the fonts, and this is *normal* for the sub-pixel rendering, however, for some reason, this just doesn't play well with this LCD screen. The red color should not have been visible.
