You can adjust the resolution on LMI, go to the options or little screen window and you can make it more to your liking. That said, a smaller screen is a smaller screen. Would be nice if you could try before you buy.
True, but I can't seem to increase the resolution above the maximum resolution of the machine you are logged into. For example the laptop in the office maxes out at 1280x800. If I log in from my desktop (2560x1440) the entire laptop's screen is only a small rectangle in the middle of my screen. I can change the laptop down to a
lower resolution, but I can't change it up. Even "match resolution" results in only the small rectangle. This makes sense, the video card on the laptop can only put out a certain resolution. I could probably crank my local machine's resolution
down to match the laptop, thus expanding the little rectangle to fill the screen, but then it would look all magnified, it would not be high resolution.
Yes it would be a nice to try first. I did briefly have an 11" macbook air. I think it worked okay for her, although I'd probably stick to windows. Yeah I wonder about 11" vs. 13" but then also about the various resolutions. What we have works perfectly because the remote laptop is identical to the office laptop. But it's a tank.
She spends serious hours on charts at home, needs to be a pretty good setup.
