- easytiger 10y agoThe screen itself mainly, is incredibly dull. it has a matt covering that i thought I wanted, but turns out i don't. When compared in indirect sunlight with the mRBP i can't read the text in a terminal. Practically unusable in certain situations. Often I like to work sitting outside on my balcony and couldn't. Battery life is quite poor despite considerable tweaking. Rarely get more than 2-3 hours of reasonable (low % cpu) use. Disable WiFi and decrease screen brightness and i can get 9-10 on an aircraft on a long flight. I fell it is getting worse over time too. I've also had WiFi driver issues with suspend and resume on linux AND windows. Assumed it was just Ubuntu and their horrendous lack of QA for hardware. My wife also has the same issue on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 on win 10. I just rmmod and insmod the wifi kernel module to repair. PITA. i had similar trackpad issues, these have been resolved. Keyboard is way way too soft/shallow. Could be an issue on most laptops these days. Speakers are on the base of the unit and are incredibly quiet. Quiet to the point where if you have a gentle breeze whip up you completely lose the sound. Considering the cost I'm not impressed. The screen kills it for me. even glare reflecting off windows wipes it out at max brightness.
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoI had similar issues with the screen on a HP ProBook I bought last year. The matte screen was way dimmer than my Dell M6500's. When I sent the laptop in for warranty service on the screen (unrelated), the replacement screen was even dimmer. Next time I can afford an arbitrary laptop, it will me another Dell Mobile Workstation like the M6500.
