I recently got an alienware 15 R3 which has almost the same specs (1070 instead of 1080 and 16 instead of 32 gb RAM, but a higher resolution screen 4K) for $1400. Its thicker and heavier, but if your objection is cost, you can get the roughly the same for much cheaper. Just won't be as thin and light.
- neverminder 10y ago3840x2160 is 4K.
- slezyr 10y ago17 inch VS 15 inch
- croon 10y agoThat's higher DPI, not resolution.
- Asooka 10y agoI've always seen that referred to as "4K". I know that in cinema 4K is slightly larger, but for monitors quad-1980p is called 4K.
- chadgeidel 10y agoIt's "1080p" (1920x1080) and 4 of them in a 2x2 grid are 3840x2160. Which is why it's called "4K". No one said the term "4k" had to make sense. :-)
- twiceaday 10y agoFrom Wikipedia: 4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels and vertical resolution on the order of 2,000 pixels. Every single other resolution was referenced by its vertical resolution: 480, 720, and 1080. But the marketing people wanted to sell TVs so they went with the horizontal resolution because its a bigger number.
- neverminder 10y agoAlso from wikipedia: "UHD-1, or ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), is the 4K standard for television and computer monitors. UHD-1 is also called 2160p[6][7] since it has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 1080p.[6] It has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (16:9, or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio). UHD-1 is used in consumer television and other media, e.g. video games." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
