Laptop in the sun . . .

Ah, finally the warm weather has arrived.

Of course, if your laptop overheats, as mine does, you may not choose to hold it in your lap. All sorts of weird things can happen.

Blessings,
Linda

It was my pleasure, James; your post certainly deserved it.

Last year I almost gave up out of frustration myself, but I wasn’t going to let the sun win.

@ Misti – Aw, that’s very cool of you! I actually tried to work outside last year too, got completely frustrated, pissed off and gave up. But this year, I’m DETERMINED to find that life of luxurious leisure us home-office web workers are supposed to have.

This was definitely unique! Thanks so much for the tips. I do wish you had of written this last year when I used my new laptop outside for the first time. I messed around moving the laptop for at least 15 minutes trying to get it to where I could read the screen. I was never able to get it where I wanted it, but I managed enjoy the sun for a little while as I wrote. Thanks to your article, next time I venture outdoors with my laptop I won’t have to waste as much time as I did before, because I’ll know what to do this time around.

By the way, this post was my favorite blog read of the day, which I post at Twitter. In other words, I linked to your article from Twitter announcing it as my favorite blog read of the day. In addition, I’ve also shared it on StumbleUpon, Digg and Del.icio.us.

Thanks again for the wonderful tips!

Someone mentioned the invert display function standard with macbooks – there is software called nocturne to do this even ‘better’ which is meant to work well in the sun – I’ve tried it a few times and it’s pretty good.

Hi James – I find this frustrating too – not that we get much sun in the North of England. I tried the huge umbrella one when I went to Spain and that was the only one that actually worked for me. It needs to be a massive umbrella though.

Don’t think they make them anymore though.
