An overly small laptop with a microscopic screen with subpar specifications...and yet its fanboyish review by the said article writer brings up questions about the guys sanity.
For me, I have a Toshiba laptop, its built like a tank, and has a 15.4 inch screen - sure, its not pathetically small like the above, but atleast I won't need to hire out an electron microscope just to see the damns screen!
Your post is confusing the hell out of me. What do you want out of a notebook? They are for portability. I never understood those people that lug around 8-10 pound laptops so they can have a large screen that kills the battery in half the time. Just get a desktop, because that's the only thing you can really use something like that for anyway. If you have trouble reading a small screen then maybe the accessibility options of your OS suck.
I just ordered a new laptop with integrated graphics, a 14 inch screen, and a 9 cell battery, altogether weighing in under 5 pounds. It's perfect for what I want out of it...portability. I looked at larger screen options and more powerful graphics but the downsides are too great. I would be glued to an AC outlet or have a hernia within a couple of weeks. That would pretty much eliminate the benefits of having a laptop.
