lappy screen size

[harry18]

i just put my old lappy on ebay, i looked at the screen, and figured its a 15.4", but i got my ruler out and measured it diaganlly, and it was a 13.2" i dint know that you could get lappy screens that size, is that right? its a packard bell easy one 1550, i googled it, but no luck

Yes...many people are shafted by computer companies....


One is
monitor size VS actual viewable area

Another is
A metric megabyte = 1000
A standard megabyte = 1024

There is a class action suit about hd companies falsy advertising hard drive size...

lol, we have metric megabytes now?

hdd manufacturers have used them for years and in fact most people confuse binary kilobytes etc with metric.

why ar you talkin about hdds?

the screen i measurd the actul view able area, diaganly and it was like 13.2"

is that how lappy screens are measured, or should i include the whole case or what, as i said, ive never herd of a 13.2" lappy screen
