Has anyone had any experience with these? Without a trailer or cave to retreat into using a laptop at El Mirage is very difficult.
Unless it's crazy, ambitious and delusional, it's not worth our time!

I've resorted to staying in the shade to be able to view my laptop screen.    As in under a pop-up tent, or inside a trailer.    I've also made up cardboard and duct tape "hoods" when truly desperate.     A game assistant with an umbrella works too, although I've never had one of Tony's caliber . . . .    (I guess that's why LSR isn't F1 . . . . . .)

I just have not found an anti-glare screen that stands up to full sun . . . . . .    Not sure there is one.

:dhorse:

The Bockscar must be wider than it looks.

The body is 24 inches, when it was a streamliner we would lift it in the back door of the school bus. As a lakester the wheels are too wide to fit the back door of a school bus and we are too old to lift it!

I use a $200 netbook that isn't bad under the car shade but in the sun it is a towel over my head and the computer,
