11.6 Inch screen size laptop for GO?

[LokBuddha]

Anybody who own a 11.6 inch laptop, can you tell me if KGS, Tygem etc. board is still comfortably large enough to play Go online? I'm planning to buy a new laptop, and looking for portability so I'm deciding 11.6 and 13 inch.

Even an iPad (9,7") is large enough for playing.

I have a 10" netbook and KGS, Tygem, and wbaduk are all fine.

I have a 10" netbook and KGS, Tygem, and wbaduk are all fine.

For around a year, my only computer was a 9" netbook, and I managed playing on KGS just fine.

That said, I think a 13" laptop would probably be better than the smaller one; more screen real estate and, even more importantly, more space for the keyboard, is never a bad thing.

I'd recommend the OP goes to a store and tries both sizes, just to see which he's more comfortable typing on.

That said, depending on his needs, a 10" tablet (with bt keyboard, and possibly mouse) might actually be the best solution; it certainly is the most portable solution, as far as my own experiences, anyway.

Keep in mind that on a tablet, most boards will appear truly full screen whereas on a netbook using the standard clients, their are other widgets taking up screen real estate do to the client design.

I'm thinking about the lenovo yoga 13. I like the feeling of reading comic/manga in portrait mode 13 inch!! But 1000$$, I can buy like 2 laptops with that!!!

If only Smartgo book can be used in Window! because I used to have an Ipad 3, and I got several book on there.
