YMMV. For me when I had the "privilege" of using a HP Omnibook 800CT
which also had a 10.4" 800x600 screen, after 1/2 hr my eyes were very
tired and I got headaches. The screen was too small for me, and changing
back to a desktop removed these symptoms immediately. I had to use the
Omnibook several times, and each time I got eye fatigue and headaches.
In contrast, I've used my 12.1" 800x600 560X for several hours daily for
over a year now, and no such problems have arisen. So test it for
yourself before you shell out the cash. Laptops are too personal and
expensive to buy sight unseen.
