Should the text size on the Macbook scare me?

[Mjmar]

Currently, I am using my sisters laptop to type this. She has a 14.1" Dell with a resolution of 1440 x 900, and the font is on the small side. Since the Macbook's resolution is 1280 x 800 and only has a slightly smaller screen, maybe the font will be a bit larger? Also, is the text size on the Macbook the same on the Macbook Pro? Thanks

You know your not stuck with small font's. All you have to do is ctrl + or - to increase or decrease the font size. You should see how large my fonts are for my sorry eyes. Also in Safari and Mail I added a button to the tool bar that has a small "a and a large A" which does the same thing.

Not sure if your aware of this. Just trying to help out! Best of luck to ya!

Yeah, definitely an option on any MB, but not sure about your sister's PC. Previous poster ^^^ easily explains the situation. Enjoy your LARGE font size.

Also remember that Mac OS X renders fonts differently compared to Windows. Fonts tend to appear with a heavier weight on Macs, which helps with clarity.
