Hi,

planning to buy a netbook.Not decided which one.

I am more concerned about the EYE STRAIN.
especially for outdoors.

My usage will be around 4-6 hrs daily.
Netbook owners need ur view on this one.

should i consider a laptop with 15-16inch display ?
price is not a concern.

I checked out a HP 10" netbook and a Asus EeePC at Reliance Digital. These netbooks are ultra portable and really good for on the move usage , but i somehow felt that it wont be very comfortable for long sessions. Maybe because i am used to a 22" Desktop Lcd :ashamed:

In my opinion ,if price is not a concern look at 13" laptops .That's like the sweet spot between netbook and a 15" lappy :).

13 inch for sure... My dad got a sony vaio 10" some model for portability , and now he has got a monitor installed in atleast his office so he can view clearly... 10 inchers are not for heavy duty work...

You said your usage will be 4-6 hrs.. you dint say what you're gonna do on it.. Also take into account the Atom processor... I've gotten used to the 8" screen so I dont mind. But 13" is def a sweet deal between the netbook and 15"er.

Your eyestrain doesn't depend on the model but on the number of hours you work in front of one. I ll suggest you to wear an antiglare glasses or put a screen on your laptop to avoid the strain. Please don't fall for any false promises.

^^ I am concern with the eye stain caused due to screen size( small font size) and not the brightness of the screen.
 
Dude, if your usage does not include too much reading(pdfs,mails etc), then a 10" would do just great.I mean movies and net surfing people even do it on a 3" mobile.

So in short, multimedia usage 10" would be fine, office work which includes lots of fineprints, 13" is better.
 
no eye strain for me. I keep it at 1024x600. Movies be sure they are 700 MB rips. 2 GB rips also work fine but they tend to freeze when you seek the movie... Rest its fine :)
