[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
