Ok, thanks for the bazillions of words to point out a simple mistake. Do you work for Lenovo and I hurt your feelings or something? I still stand by my assertion it's a stupid resolution for a laptop in 2023 Good for them making it "bigger than an iPad Pro" but I'm not shopping for an iPad, I'm shopping for a laptop that I can take on work trips that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out trying to use it

6 lines is bazillions of words?! It is not only not less than HD, which you were complaining about, it's more than HD. It's not only not as bad as you were complaining, it is better than what you were complaining about. And not only is it better, it's also not 16:9, which loads of people complain about, it's 16:10. That is better too. Which is why I pointed it out. No, I do not work for Lenovo. I work for the Register. I wrote the article that you are complaining about. I wrote the story, and I posted it here on HN.

  Oh, that must be the misunderstanding; I wasn't complaining about your article, and I'm sorry if my comment came across that way. By "dismissing" I meant the Lenovo device, not the reporting upon it Although I will say it's super weird to have you defending the screen size of a vendor's laptop in a technology forum, but, hey, I think such passion about technology is great. Maybe one day Lenovo will acquire such passion, too

    Um. OK. I take your point, but the thing you were bitching about was based on you misreading something that you actually copied and pasted into your reply and still did not read correctly! I put real effort, and a lot of time, into these stories, and then someone starts complaining at me because they misread it... and angrily defends their misreading? I get that it's not the laptop for you, and that's fine and I take no exception to that at all. I didn't design the thing. But, y'know, this comment still stings...?
