User:Daniel K. Schneider

Here is an official pompous blurb about me:

Daniel K. Schneider is senior lecturer and researcher at TECFA, a research and teaching unit in the faculty of psychology and education, University of Geneva. Holding a PhD in political science, he has been working in educational technology since 1988 and participated in various innovative pedagogical and technological projects. He has been a prime mover towards the introduction of creative pedagogical strategies and ICT technologies. His current R&D interests focus on modular, flexible and open Internet architectures supporting rich and effective educational designs. Within TECFA's "blended" master program in educational technology, he teaches educational information & communication systems, virtual environments and research methodology.

Need a new desktop laptop (feb 2010), alternatives I consider:

• Alienware M17x (heavy, good gaming 3D, good screen)
• Asus G73 series, e.g. G73JW (cheap, only hdtv, quite heavy)
• Acer Aspire Ethos (cheap, slow 3D)
• Apple MacBook Pro (don't trust win drivers, slow on 3D)
• Dell Precision M6500 (good CAD 3D, very expensive in a top config, bad sound)

... none has what I could call a decent screen resolution. The actual trend is in fact getting less (i.e. TV-like 1900x1080 or 1900x900)
