I think it depends what type of PDF files and what you mean by "deal
with." It is surely horrible to deal with an 8-1/2 x 11 PDF layout
displayed in full page view on a 640 x 480 display. By contrast, the
same information displayed with a smaller "page" size on the same
display might be just fine. It's a resolution issue -- not a diffeerence
between laptops and desktops.
Hope this helps ...
