I’ve recently decided to upgrade from my netbook (which I’ve been using for two years now), to a Dell Inspiron 1545. While I still love my netbook, and will be keeping it, I have to admit that it’s getting harder and harder on my eyes trying to look at the much smaller screen. Dragging around this Inspiron with a 15” widescreen though is much more labor intensive. The bigger, Truelife screen is great though, I’m able to do more on this without my glasses than I could with the netbook.
I’d still recommend a netbook for on-the-go computing, but if you need something other than a desktop for your everyday computing needs, a larger screen and more processing power is the best way to go.
