[Duo2400] Re: Choice between Duo 2300c and 2400c

[Larry Friedman]

The reason I asked about the screen was that although I am leaning towards the 2400 I have never seen one in person. I was just trying to see how the screen ranked against the 2300 and 280, which I have seen.

I have seen a couple of these generation Powerbooks where the screen quality was washed out and blue cast, nothing to write home about. I wanted to know if the 2400 suffered from these problems as well.

Thanks

Hi there,

Another quick question for you. How does the 2400's screen match up
against the 2300's? I'm not referring to the size, but rather color quality and richness of saturation.

I would say both are just as acute. The saturation and color depth are very configurable by using the color calibration control panel.
During the warmer season (summer), I set the overall color hue to a cooler temperature (Kelvin). And in the winter I set the hue to a warmer temperature. I initially set my 2400c and Duo 2300c to the default calibration, but saw the overall saturation become flat.
I prefer the 2400c to the Duo 2300c for: its lighter weight, PCMCIA & cardbus capabilities, industrial design, processor upgrade flexibility, larger display, greater battery life, and increased ram capacity.
I still try to keep the Duo some what active by charging its batteries and running the maintenance on it. (Tech Tool Pro, Norton) Also, occaisioially going online and loading various Newton pkgs and sometimes the Newton Toolkit.
I hope this helps.
