Looks good but the deal breaker here is the screen. 1920x1080 is just not enough these days.

- philliphaydon 4y agoI won’t buy a laptop without 16:10 aspect ratio now.
- zeppelin101 4y agoAgreed, definitely. It's a game-changer.
- l30n4da5 4y agolol, all I have are 1080p screens.
- cercatrova 4y agoLaptops with greater than 1080p screens just take up battery for no discernable benefit at those screen sizes.
- Nathanael_M 4y agoBoth of these comments are ditches alongside the road of truth. 4k on a laptop is not necessary, but it is noticeable and sometimes valuable. I have a 4K laptop screen and I like it a lot. I have a 1080p monitor and I notice the resolution (mostly on text), but I’m plenty productive with it.
- tasuki 4y agoThat's just your opinion... I have good eyesight, yet prefer 1920x1080 in my laptops: - Larger resolutions are a significant battery drain. - Larger resolutions are more GPU intensive, taking away precious system resources.
- martibravo 4y agoAlso, the fact that this is a 15.6-inch display enables me to set zoom on VS Code and Firefox to 90%, still able to read everything but with more estate. I had an MBP Retina before and for the life of me I don't miss the extra pixels. I do miss the 16:10 aspect ratio, though.
- martibravo 4y agoI'm had a Retina 2015 MBP before, and with Windows/Gnome set to 100% Scaling I get the same screen real estate as an MBP with default settings. Screen has a high sRGB percentage and colors look vibrant and crisp. To be honest, I would trade 2K for 144Hz again. It's so good.
