I wonder if its purpose isn't simply to watch Youtube. It has a Full HD screen. It's 11-something inches, but still Full HD.

- afterburner 6y agoI mean, your phone has a Full HD screen (or better). They keep getting more and more common in laptops as manufacturing switches over.

- chrisseaton 6y agoWhat screens aren't 'Full HD' or more these days? It's a really old low resolution.
- cerberusss 6y agoWhenever I see Full HD, I think fist-sized pixels. However, it's an 11-inch screen and the article mentions: "The display on the EVOO is FHD 1080p, not the 1366x768 typical of many cheap laptops". So in this case, I think it's not all that bad.
- freehunter 6y agoFull HD is another word for 1080p. What about Full HD makes you think of fist-sized pixels?
- chrisseaton 6y agoOnly a thousand rows is pretty low these days - you can definitely see the big pixels on everything except a tiny screen.
- eyerony 6y agoA thousand rows wasn't impressive in 2000. I think people've forgotten (or weren't around for, so don't realize) how big a step back we took on picture quality and pixel density for monitors, for many years, with the switch to LCD.
- chrisseaton 6y agoRight - I swear I remember running CRTs at 2000+ rows in the early 2000s. Now people seem impressed with 1000, even on fairly expensive full-sized laptops?
- zozbot234 6y agoYou weren't running those CRT's on laptops though. The laptops of the time had low res displays with very narrow viewing angles.
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhen I look on Amazon for desktop monitors, I also see products proudly boasting that they're 'Full HD'. And what's more we seem to have stopped at Full HD - weren't most LCD monitors Full HD like ten years ago? What's going on?
- freehunter 6y agoIf you're not seeing 4k and 5k monitors, you're not looking hard enough. They're plentiful and pretty cheap these days.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> If you're not seeing 4k and 5k monitors, you're not looking hard enough. I didn't say I wasn't seeing them, though did I? I'm saying I still see monitors with this ancient low FHD resolution. When you search for hard drives you don't see 2005-era capacities as your first result. Why do we still see 2005-era resolutions as our first result for LCDs? And some of them cost hundreds of dollars - the same price as in 2005.
- MikusR 6y ago1080p Youtube is delivered as VP9 or even AV1. It has no hardware to accelerate decoding. And CPU seems to be too slow for 1080p VP9.
