Hi, I take my laptop with me when I travel and try to use it when my hubby is doing the driving. However, I have a very hard time seeing the screen because of the light. Does anyone else have this problem and how did you correct it? I have to take it to stay connected with everyone here you know!

I have been known to throw a coat around my head and the laptop, like it was a vaporizer....
it's tough on your neck though.

Get an anti-glare screen cover....

Heidi, Where do I get such a thing?

Barb, funny you should say that. I have a black piece of fabric that I do the same with. But we really get the stares along the way!

Any computer store like Micro Center, Best Buys, they all have them and they are not expensive.

I found the anti glare did not work well for me. What I found by accident was a very wide brimmed hat pulled down over my face!!

Also a computer hood might help.

thanks everyone, will have to do some checking the next time I'm buy a tech store. Love the hat idea too. I happen to have one that I'm going to try out soon.
