I am with you on the larger screens, plus the keyboards on the small ones are not my thing. I am going to get a full sized laptop soon, and will be a come down to me with a 15 inch screen, I am more than happy with my 19 inch LCD on the tower. However, if I had young eyes, I might be interested in one of the small ones for travel and a few other things I can think of off hand. Also, some people just like small things and if they get the required job done then what’s the harm?:)
I used to be into tiny gadgets. But the eyes get old, the fingers get stubby, fine motor control goes south. More power to the people who like the small stuff, I was just pointing out to the original poster there are legitimate complaints with these little things. I read “10 inch screen” and my eyes say “don’t even think about it”, in order to get enough data on that screen to be useful the fonts would be so small I couldn’t see them. Of course one of the other changes as I get older is more interest in things without silicon and desire to be unplugged from the world, portable computing sounds more and more to me like a trap than a feature.
