I had this 'idea' of working outside (as it was a suuny day and I can still reach the wireless) but because of the sun I could actually see the laptop screen.

Does anyone know of (or preferably tried and tested) any laptop, screen, gadget that is good for use outdoors?

Hi Will,
I was checking this one, looks ok for me http://nushield.com/
I would like to try this one in my 17 inch laptop because my screen is like a mirror :evil:

Cheers
JC
