Do all that, of course. But when you’re writing applications for other people, go buy a shitty middle of the pack laptop, resolution 1280x768, with the windows start bar and menu bars eating like 150pixels of that, and try to use your software there.
- tln 6y agoGood call. I use this https://github.com/mattkersley/Responsive-Design-Testing https://github.com/mattkersley/Responsive-Design-Testing too, modified with 1366 x 768 as one of the three "key sizes" to design for.

When Android Kit Kat was under development, the team used nerfed Nexus 4's to simulate a low end Android phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_KitKat#Development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_KitKat#Development
