    Your correct ...a better screen is..... better

    Using a laptop with a good screen is obviously helpful rather than using a laptop with a dull washed out terrible screen.

    Your idea or thoughts seem to be aimed at a small portable .

    I would get a decent large screen as a small portable may not be the right answer ....this you may discover after you have paid for it .

    If you look at the phone market now they are all bigger than they once were...as a example

    While chromebooks may not be everyones bag, my lenovo chromebook duet (10.1 inch) has made life a lot nicer.

    Something bigger than a phone to take with me (and tether to the phone), and with 400 nits the display is great in most situtations.

    I use it when I do not need anything better, which let's face it is most of the time!

    Would recomend to anyone who is ok with google and just needs a browser! (only downpoint is being arm/4gb it only runs 32bit android apps and a few companies have stopped bothering (sky go for instance)).

    Is she using tablet plugged in? Often screen brightness will be reduced to save power when running on battery only.

    I cant see the point of  buying a portable device where the screen doesnt work properly unless its plugged in !

    Is this something that happens with tablets after a certain time from new ?
