I’ve always wanted a laptop with touch screen and then use OneNote or a similar SW for all my note taking during meetings. But why do they always make those PC’s with such small screens, I wonder? Same thing with this one. Besides the screen size it looks promising, especially the low weight.
Well you can have a bigger screen but then it’ll be too bulky and heavy to carry
In my opinion, having a small screen can be extremely advantageous with respect to working in the field from a technicians point of view.
This would allow technician’s to complete a job have it signed off by the customer and be on the road to the next job… In this scenario, I see smaller as being better (mind you I wouldn’t want to go smaller than the 9″ monitor).
For taking notes, I can understand that you would want a larger monitor… They’re out there… I guess it depends on what you’re requirements are. There are good arguments for both sides
It’s true. You wouldn’t want to carry a 15″ monitor around the block if you are a field technician
