Hi all! I'm one very small step away from buying a sweet new 11.6" netbook that Acer put out...with one worry.

I read a LOTTTT of scanlations, so I was wondering, is the screen size too small? Resolution is no problem since this baby can go up to 1378x768, but I don't want to have to squint too much.
Anyone who has a similarly sized screen? Maybe Macbook users (those are 12")? Oh and I use CDisplay to rad.
If you read a lot of Manga you're not going to want to buy that, trust me. 11.6 is really small, but if you have the money go and buy a Toshiba satellite, the cheapest and the best, and with toshiba no worries about screen size and money the satellite series are the best if money IS the problem.
See for your self.Please don't buy an Acer... (friendly advice)
Haha thanks for the laptop rec, but I've got my heart set on this one. I've done a lot of research on the model (Acer 1410T), and so far so good. It's also incredibly light (and portable for college!) at 3 pounds.
Oh also forgot to mention it's widescreen.

Dunno if that makes a huge difference.
I guess I should mention that I own a 15" laptop that I use right now, which is totally fine. The way I read, I don't display the whole length of the page at once (that _would_ be squinty). It's more like what you get with OneManga--instead, I scroll top to bottom and this works for 95% of pages. I guess then what matters the most to me is the width not the length of a scanlated page--and I think the width of the 11.6" should suffice since I take up only about half the width of the full screen when I read on my 15"? Maybe

AHHH. I hate projecting scenarios. Just hoping for a macbook user to chime in here...

Perhaps get a better image viewer? I recommend ACDSee.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into that.
