which screen for the X61 "Steven Toney" <toneys[ at ]ibm.net> 01.07.2007 13:32:23 I'm going to pull the pull and buy and X61 I need some advice on the two screen choices.... suggestions please thanks

Re: which screen for the X61 "terri" <terri[ at ]no.mvps.spam.org> 01.07.2007 16:22:49 Steven, the biggest choice is what you'd like for resolution. If you want 1400x1050, then you can only get it on the non-touch model. Same with the outdoor-viewable screen. I've had both the X60 and now the X61, and I've opted for the non-touch each time. Once I used 1400x1050, using 1024x768 seems like 800x600, things are so large. On the other hand, if you won't be using ink all that much, but want the convenience of touch with your finger rather than a pen, then go for that one. It's really a choice of what you think will work better with the way you plan to use your Tablet. -- Terri Stratton Microsoft Featured Community http://thetabletpc.net Forums - http://forums.mobilepcworld.net Microsoft Windows MVP- Tablet PC "Steven Toney" <toneys[ at ]ibm.net> wrote in message news:%23KeMAR%23uHHA.3444[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: which screen for the X61 Andre 01.07.2007 20:58:50 And how well you see! I've got very good vision but would never squeeze 1400 + on 12 " screen. Unless you use it fewer than 2 hours a day. MVPs are not to trust on that, they see through their laptop... just kidding' My tablet is 1024x768 on 12" and this line is less than 1/4 inch high.I believe it is small enough.

Re: which screen for the X61 "terri" <terri[ at ]no.mvps.spam.org> 01.07.2007 22:36:37 Andre, I've had to wear glasses since second grade. One thing I don't have is good vision. Besides, when you have a 1400x1050, you can easily change back to 1152 or even 800. It's also not hard to change the dpi so that icons and text are the most comfortable. If you have a max of 1024x768, you can't move to 1152 or 1400 unless you're willing to scroll to see the rest of the screen. I used a 1024 for many years, but now that I've moved to 1400, 1024 just looks huge. As I said about ink and ink/touch, it's a matter of personal preference. -- Terri Stratton Microsoft Featured Community http://thetabletpc.net Forums - http://forums.mobilepcworld.net Microsoft Windows MVP- Tablet PC "Andre" <Andre[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A720D8A2-7F43-4579-8D97-9A864D2FDBDC[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: which screen for the X61 "Josh Einstein" <josh[ at ]einsteintech.net> 02.07.2007 21:04:35 I also think 1440 is too high a resolution for that screen size. Gateway has a pretty good alternative which is 1280px widescreen at 12" which also has dual input. But it looks like you pulled the trigger. :) Enjoy your new tablet.
