Laptop Lighting Problems
Pandora @ 06:10
Since I bought my laptop I wondered if I had made the right decision. It is not the laptop it was the amount of time I was actually using it. I even told the children that I used my PC a lot more, which they told me wait till winter.
Now that it is winter I am so glad that I made the step at purchasing. There have been times when I worked downstairs as it is a lot warmer there than in my room. Plus when hospice would come I never knew when they would get here so instead of taking a day off I just brought it downstairs and did little things.
I tend to use it for updating blogs, store fronts and things of that nature. Nothing to drastic keeping software down to a minimum. I have started to work on my web sites with the laptop which really helps.
The one thing that I do not like is in the evening or late at night when I can not sleep is that seeing the keys is super hard. The light is just not enough from the screen for me to see clearly what the heck I am doing. Waking up at 1 AM last night I could not sleep so I whipped the laptop out to just mess around until I got tired. The light was a disaster for me. I finally made up my mind to purchase one of those lights for the units.
I found one that I liked the streamlined look. Most were those snake lights that you have to twist around to get to stay. I really do not like those at all. This one is like a bar that you can attach to the bottom or the top of the screen. With 10 led tiny bulbs it should prove to do just fine for what I want.
I really wish I had purchased one months ago when I noticed the problem. Oh well, live and learn!
