- amyjess 9y agoOnly useful for consuming certain kinds of content. It's great for movies but terrible for comic books. I got my Surface Pro 3 with digital comics in mind, and one of the reasons I chose it is that it has a 12" screen with a 3:2 aspect ratio, which is exactly the same as a real comic book. Double-page spreads are a little awkward, but for single pages, it's like I'm holding a (very heavy) comic in my hands. Marvel Unlimited and the Surface Pro line go together like peanut butter and chocolate. I actually use my Surface in portrait mode 90% of the time. It's great for reading text too. My favorite way to read online fiction now is to grab my Surface, flop down on my couch, and read while holding it in portrait mode.
- piaste 9y agoSince 16:9 and 21:9 took over, I've dealt with it by placing as many 'toolbars' vertically as I could. Windows taskbar, Tree-Style Tabs for Firefox, and so on. I've seen some UI designers move in the same direction, e.g. Visual Studio Code with its side drawer, Edge and Firefox both putting its menus in a side panel.
