A 2k screen in 2022?
I haven't used a non-HDPI laptop since a decade (bought the first retina MBP at the time). I can't understand how people can still use such displays today.
Also the CPU. It's from last year.
I just ordered a Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro with R7 6800H and additional Nvidia GPU – 1.200€.
It will Linux just fine but with more 2022ish hardware specs. :)
It's also slimmer than the 'Slimbook' (14.9mm vs 16.7mm).
- t-3 4y agoIs 2k bad or good for '22? I still haven't moved past 1080p, so I'm not sure how to take "can't understand how people can still use such displays today."

- sk0g 4y agoConfusingly, 2K typically refers to 2560*1440. By that logic 4k would be a resolution greater than 3840*2160 of course, so I'm not sure how sound the naming convention is.
