It looks definitely a good alternative to XPS, which is what I work with.
Both, most importantly, have matte screens. I can't understand how people can code with glossy screens...
- vladvasiliu 7y agoI used to think the same, but I think it depends on where you are. Inside, or in fairly low light situations, matte screens are great. However, as I'm currently working from a suburban house and am able to go outside, I've discovered the glossy screen of my 2013 MBP is actually more legible when the sun's up than a matte external monitor (Dell P2415Q), both set to maximum brightness. Sure, there are way more reflections and I have to wear dark clothes, but if I use a light background I can see the text fairly well. On my external display the light is so diffused that the contrast is terrible. Even if there are no reflections, text is so washed out it's much harder to read.
- pachico 7y agoI understand what you say but I prefer not to do workarounds with my working tools. Imagine that, rather than "I wave to wear dark clothes" I said "yes, I must be facing north to work properly" or "I have to hold the USB connection to make work" you would immediately say "no way". :)
