2373-3UU and The IBM® UltraConnect™ Antenna?

#1 Post by Vazine » Wed Oct 20, 2004 12:33 pm

I'm really considering the 2373-3UU from Bill.
I was just curious if this model has the The IBM® UltraConnect™ Antenna?

Also, I'm kinda worried about the SXGA+ display on a 14.1" monitor. Wouldn't everything be real tiny? How would web pages, games, and dvd's play on a resolution setting of 1400x1050?

I have a princeton LCD screen with my desktop (17") and although its native resolution is 1600x1200 i use 1024x768 and nothing is blurry at all.
If i wanted to use a resolution setting of 1024x768 on the SXGA+ would it be real blurry?

Also, I was curious if it has the ability to play doom3 decently. I don't think it will. It's not a high priority at all though.

Thanks,
Eian

I have very bad eyes, and although it takes a little getting used to, it looks great after a few days. I do a lot of coding (I'm in computer science), and honestly, after coding on the sxga+ it's hard to code on anything lower.

How would web pages, games, and dvd's play on a resolution setting of 1400x1050?
Most webpages look fine, although the occasional one looks small. Games run fine (higher res is better), although I have yet to get some dvd's.

Also, you can always increase font sizes, which can really help.

On a side note: I actually find the start bar too big (mabye I accidently made it that way). Does anyone know a method to shrink it down a little bit?

For the toolbar, just put your cursor at the top of it and you can click on it and shrink it to almost any size.

For the Start menu, in case I misunderstood, right click on the toolbar, select properties, select the checkbox next to "Show small icons".

All T4X series machines come with the antennae installed.
