Using my laptop outside...

[DisTeach1]

Does anyone here use their laptop outside? My favorite thing, on a Sunny, spring Sunday is to sit outside and DIS, plan my next trip with a glass of wine, but I can never see the screen...Is there something I can use on my laptop that will let me use it outside?

I'm in CA, and we will start having more and more days like these.

LOL-i have an absolutely beasty router and i take mine down to the pool.

Get an aint glare shield for your screen-i am pretty sure they have them at best buy.

I use mine under the umbrella in the garden or on the patio.....love the laptop outside.
Enjoy the sun!

I'll try the anti-glare shield, otherwise, I can't see it...Will the anti-glare work?

Okay...I went to Best Buy and the salesperson had no idea what I was talking about. I tried again today...beautiful weather, took my laptop outside, can't see a thing...Any help out there?

I huddle under a pool towel. Only then can I can see the computer screen. It kills the serenity and beauty of the peaceful idea of resting outdoors with the computer. I feel your pain and am watching responses too.

you can find them on amazon by looking up anti-glare laptop screen filters

I use a visor or baseball cap - to clarify, on me not the laptop - and it helps me see the screen better.

Be very careful in heavy tree pollen zones. Keys stop working.
