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.

  6. xenxra @ xenxra: thanks for being a swell guy, you earned it
  7. R @ rhodium: hello all thanks for being moved to the apporved section!
  8. P @ Poppycock: @Mammasboi123 thank you, I’m still getting the hang of using this platform. Sometimes when I try to search something it will come back with nothing or tell me what I typed in wasn’t long enough or something
  9. M @ Mammasboi123: Also, keep in mind that if a thread topic doesn’t already exist for a particular mag after searching for it, for a particular msg you’ve got questions on, you can always open a new thread under the appropriate section to get member feedback. I only mention doing it this other way due to there being a rule against members/vendors advertising or soliciting mags via the Shout Box. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets removed at some point.
  10. M @ Mammasboi123: @Poppycock, I would encourage you or any other member looking for current options for various mags to first check if an existing thread has already been created on the topic by using the Search bar found on the upper right corner of the site. For example, here’s a recent thread that was posted just a couple months ago that shows up when I type in ‘5APB’ to the search bar: https://drugbuyersguide.info/threads/4-fma-and-6-apb.11276/#post-268359.
