I agree about the battery with you. However not so much about extra cost. The computer is my main tool, I am using it the whole day - I stare at it the whole day, I type on it the whole day. For me the keyboard, the trackpoint, the ergonomy, the screen quality are more important than the price.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoI'm sure I'll never get sick of hearing about this line of "reasoning". Please explain again how you justify your purchases. Let me know how your time is important and valuable, and only the best tools will allow you to be productive at the level of a true professional.
- aroch 13y agoYou're not the one buying the laptop though, your company is. The bottom line is they don't feel the need to buy a more expensive laptop for you whose only reason for being more expensive is the screen is nicer. Typing a Word doc or making a powerpoint doesn't require a high PPI screen. High PPI is pretty much dead last in the sprint for "things that matter when corporate buys a laptop for you"
- Joeri 13y agoYes it does. Eye fatigue takes much longer to set in one a high dpi display. The productivity benefits of giving a high dpi display are probable more meaningful than those of giving an i7 instead of an i3 (for word users).
