Thanks Timothy - glad I put my little get-out clause in my previous post
though the laptop BRL mentions has a different screen size/resolution than yours:
15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800) UltraSharp Wide - Aspect Screen
15.4" WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) UltraSharp Wide - Aspect Screen
15.4" WUXGA (1920 x 1200) UltraSharp Wide - Aspect Screen
15.4" WUXGA (1920 x 1200) UltraSharp Wide - Aspect Screen
The ones I have seen are of the 1920x1200 flavour and the "problem" (read working-as-designed-feature) was apparent on them.
But according to a
reviewer of the 8500 the font issue can be fixed so maybe this is a non-issue - I'll check next time I see one.
