How did I used to use a laptop all the time?
This thing is gigantimous. A little heavy, easy enough to leave on my lap but not convenient to turn around and use in the other orientation. But it's bigger than my game rulebooks.
Which was on purpose so I could better use the pdfs of my game rulebooks.
But it's huge.
And when I thought I would use it for art then that was part of the point, get some display space going, see what I can do with it
but I do nothing with it
and it's somehow really weird to try and read fic at this scale.
... why I don't know. Just, somehow, bigger words is weird.
And yet nothing quite fits this way around where it is wider than it is tall. I don't know what size screen designers were using, but not this.
So it fits the taller way, but is huge, and weirdly loud because the fans face me
and just
how did I used to use these things?
... I used to used to use them sitting at a desk with a CRT monitor
I'm sure I can adjust
... but I want to go back to bed with a good book and it's just too wide or tall to try it that way.
