That, sir, is not a laptop.  When you stand a laptop on its right
edge, you can read it, but when you type sideways, your arms hurt
and it tends to fall down.  

How much 8.5x11 content creation do you do?  Any math, special
symbols, etc.?  How old are you?  You can duplicate the over-40
effect by backing up two times your normal distance and trying
to read it from there.   For over 60, back up three times.
