    I'm thinking about getting a notebook, so I have a question to the guys who are already familiar with playing poker on notebooks:

    What do you think is the better screen size for playing online?
    17" because it's better for multitabling, or 14" because then the notebook is nice and small to carry it anywhere?

    What's the better screen resolution?
    As detailed as possible (eg 1920x1200 on 17") or stick to something more readable (eg 1440x900 on 17")?
    I also have to consider that I am slightly short sighted.

    What else is to consider for the ideal poker notebook?

    Thanks for any advice.

    I recommend a 15.4'' laptop for it's balance of size and mobility, as well as a large external monitor (maybe 24'') with a high resolution for your desk.

    the bigger the better if u dont carry it around too much...
    and yea, definitely 1920x1200 if you want to play more than 9 tables....
    viel glück ;)
