Screen & Keyboard
Modern notebooks that will cost you less than 20.000,- dkr. (except if you buy
an IBM) come with 10-11" colour screens with VGA graphics (640x480 pixels).
Though slighty less than the 14-15" colour screens of a standard PCs and
somewhat less than the 19" (or more) screens of the X-Window workstations at
DIKU, I personally find it acceptable for any of the standard GUI-based window
systems (e.g., Windows95, X-Windows for
Linux, or OS/2's Workplace
Shell).
I find the keyboards (with or without build-in trackball, trackpoint or external
mouse) of today's modern notebooks less acceptable than the screens, but I guess
that is a "price you have to pay" if you want something portable.
