700M 708

Carol and Allen Bredt

The screen brightness is not an issue since it can be turned down to suit. These 12 inch widescreen notebooks have pretty good keyboards from what I have seen - I have a Sony TR3a - and the Dell keyboard is very similar if not identical. The keyboard is slightly smaller than standard, but unless the hands are larger than a male large glove hand there should be no problem with typing. The real benefit is the the size and weight than makes it easy to move around and transport, especially with wireless. The new bright screens are crisp and easy to read with Cleartype enabled. With Dell you get 15 days trial during which, no questions asked, you can return the unit in the original packing for a complete refund although you have to pay for return shipping and insurance. Note that small size no longer means substandard performance. This will do whatever you need including playing video, etc. It is not a gaming computer however.
