Hardware, Embedded Systems El Reg reviews the Dell Inspiron 6400, and concludes: "With a base price - for the T7200 Core 2 Duo - of GPB 789 inc. VAT and shipping, the Inspiron 6400 is an excellent and affordable route into the Core 2 Duo world. It has all the credentials to be a dependable multimedia companion with its great screen, comprehensive connectivity and decent processing power. But be aware it's neither exciting to look at nor to game on."

You can read *more* code on a widescreen if you read more than one source file at a time. A 1680x1050 widescreen is enough room for three terminals side-by-side.

You must be one of those single-taskers. Ugh.

So you open multiple terminals side by side when you program or you actually don't do much coding, you just browse through other people's code?

I prefer having tabs in my editor and switching between them instead of having 3 code windows side by side.

And yes when i am programming, i focus on one file at a time, this is why i write good code. Do you write good code or not?

I'm a web developer and all those div blocks indented makes me horizontal scroll, so I like the widescreen.
