- astrodust 13y agoIt is pretty garbage by today's standards, and is inferior to CRT screens I had ten years ago. If this is for developers, pixels matter.
- jamesbritt 13y agoFor people used to WUXGA it's (somewhat) low res. I thought the newer W-series Thinkpads would have better res then "HD" (AKA "short screen") but last I checked they're still stuck selling "business" machines with entertainment-consumption screens. Plus a numpad that shifts the main keyboard over. On the bright side they still have dedicated trackpoint buttons instead of the clacky thing built in to the trackpad that some of the other other recent models have.
- davidw 13y agoThe Dell that I got several years (3-4) ago that this one replaced was WUXGA. This one (an XPS13) is light and has more battery life, and is faster and all, but I do miss that screen a lot. More pixels == better, with a bias for vertical pixels.
