Hi,

Asking favors as usual...

What is about the largest laptop screen I could get for my wife?

I'd love to get in the 16-17" range. It won't move much, just sit in front of her without straining her eyes much. I was going to get her a desktop (she's old fashioned), but it had been impossible for me to get at ports, cables, etc.

Win 7 or 8 OK. Her only requirement is that it run AOL /default_smile.png

Thanks for any pointers.

I'll contribute something intelligent soon. Promise.

I've been looking at Acer Chromebooks & Travelmates. Right direction?

1/2

 
I don't know shit about computers 1/2 but aren't some of the newer tv's internet capable? How about a 60" screen?

I think you can hook up a small tv to the computer. Get yourself a 21" but again I'm just guessing.

I do think they have some pretty large monitors for computers  too. At least 20"

 
I agree with HB. Most laptops have, or at least they used to have, a port to connect an external monitor. If I were to use a laptop I would want  a mouse too. Some people adapt well to the touchpad, I don't. But I'm the old guy sitting on the porch shaking my cane, telling the kids to "get off my lawn!". /default_smile.png 

 
Travelmates I've seen are not real powerful. But just to run AOL and basic home stuff, they're fine.

 
I actually had a device in the '90 called WebTV which was basically just a browser that you hooked up to your TV and could surf the net. So at the time I was looking at a 27" monitor.

  3. D @ drdrizzy13: @Layne_Cobain yeah man I would be sweet if the whole team was healthy. I think they can make it a series. And honestly man Lebron had a terrible whistle.. When he drives to the basket he usually gets fouled but the refs barely call it. They aren't falling for Shai's foulbaiting either. I hope Pelicans hire Rondo as head coach.
  4. Z @ zdaBa: @raizen banana base a known scam, I continue to get invites from randos to this day
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 same bro it sucks for that series that Luka is out bc I think lakers could’ve made it a competitive one at least…my knicks are looking good but OG is hurt with a hammy now will have to see how that effects him cause they can’t win the championship with him hobbled he’s too important… not sure if anyone is gonna be able to beat okc regardless but we shall see

  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Same here man. Wish Luka was healthy to at least make the la vs okc somewhat watchable. But the other games are gonna be good.
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: What’s up good ppl hope everyone is feeling good and getting by, enjoying the nba/nhl playoffs and start of the baseball season… ✌️
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: @biggiecheese Hey bro I don't think those types of questions are allowed in the shoutbox. I think you just have to look around or make a post about it in the right forum.
