Yah I don't get why these laptop manufactures keep shipping garbage screens. I got a 3:2 2160 x 1440, IPS screen on a $200 tablet a few months ago. My laptop has a 16:9 that looks worse, and has lower resolution despite the machine costing 6x as much. So, please, its hard to call your product "premium" if its screen is worse than a bottom of the barrel tablet.

That sounds nice. What tablet is that? It's pretty sad that tablets seem to be elongating like phones did. Most of them are 16:10 these days.

  I think it was this one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-11-tablet-intel-pentium-4gb-memory-128gb-ssd-natural-silver/6492318.p?skuId=6492318 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-11-tablet-intel-pentium-4gb-... it was on sale for $199, or $299 with the keyboard. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-11-tablet-intel-pentium-4gb-memory-128gb-ssd-with-keyboard-natural-silver/6492320.p?skuId=6492320 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-11-tablet-intel-pentium-4gb-... But only that second link is still in stock. Its a bit weak on the CPU/RAM front, but for what i'm using it for (ebooks, netflix, and random PCish tasks (largly RDP) when i'm to lazy to get out of bed and grab the laptop) its not a bad device except for the one "issue" which is that it doesn't have a headphone jack. Something I would have probably returned it for had I paid closer to MSRP on it. Its a reasonable upgrade to the chewi windows tablet I was using before, which also has a weak cpu (but more ram) and a screen that isn't as nice.

>Yah I don't get why these laptop manufactures keep shipping garbage screens. Because they're cheaper. >My laptop has a 16:9 that looks worse, and has lower resolution despite the machine costing 6x as much. Right, so your laptop mfgr spent less money on the screen, charged more money, and got a higher profit margin -> win! This lets their execs get bigger bonuses so they can buy better yachts. What's not to like here?
