> 4. The 3:2 display is awesome for programming and content creation, and I don't know why more devices don't adopt it. My only criticism is that it's not a touch screen but with how modular this laptop is it's only a matter of time before that becomes an option.
Really strongly agree with both points here as a new owner of a framework laptop. My old personal laptop had a 16:9 (not 16:10) screen and wow the difference is so stark in terms of usability for anything that benefits from vertical orientation. Suddenly I wish you could still get 4:3 desktop monitors again. I kinda filled that gap with rotatable 16x10 monitors but honestly I just kind of miss 4:3.
The 16x9 laptop is still nice for watching videos though.
- schmorptron 5y agoHow does it compare when opening two windows side by side? Is there still enough horizontal screen real estate for things like a browser and a code editor to still be able to see enough content on both?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYes I found my old ThinkPad T42 recently and fired it up and got sucked in looking through my old files for a couple of hours. Its screen felt so useful and big.. 4:3 is great. It only had a 1024x768 screen but apps really made way better use of screen real-estate back then. Much less unnecessary whitespace.
