>it just werks

If your laptop is not at least 2560x1600 you shouldn't be here.

is this the desktop thread

720p "HD"reporting in, can I stay senpai?

Tell that to the thinkpad bros

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

isnt this the reason desktop threads were banned?

>windows

If it was 800p I'd say yes, step it the fuck up.

>posting desktops
no silly

1600x900 main laptop
1280x800 most other laptops

And I'm not planning on changing that in the foreseeable future. Desktops are for high resolutions, laptops to be carried around.

your kind aint welcome here

you best be on your way

My main laptop is 1280x800. My secondary laptop is 1024x768 (this one's getting upgraded to 1400x1050 though), and my netbook that sees about as much use is 1024x576

I comfortably carry around my inspiron 13 and it has 1920x1080. no excuses user

that's actually you

>Go to bed thread now

no

>Opera 12
mah nigga

...

You actually need a 1920x1080 laptop when you use those huge as fuck window borders.

Not even >muh minimalism, but that is a waste. Do they stay that size when maximized?

Does anyone did a screen ugrade in their notebooks?

trust me i know, i actually just installed antergos to try it out and that was the first thing i noticed. you should see how ridiculous firefox looks. gonna have to do something about that

i havent but i really wish i could put a matte screen in mine. why anyone would want glossy is beyond me

>carrying around a 24 inch monitor because muh graphics.


lol kys

Same but with matte.

Where does it say a monitor size?

I'm going to, only reason I haven't is the upgrade costs as much as the laptop.

this is a 13 inch laptop

Which is a shame, because it actually looks good.

Am I in Sup Forums?

no friend this is Sup Forums as in technolo/g/y

what's the difference LOL

Based user.

>any year
>16:9

square up f@m i bet you hit like a bitch

I did, Thinkpad T520, came with crappy 1366x768, put the FHD one in it.

Sup Forums does not care about gaymen monitors

XDDDD Epic :D

Okay?

I've been gone for a while

Just
How the fuck can you have Sup Forums without desktop threads

Go fuck back to Sup Forums

>2016
>not using a laptop with at least 2560x1440

Sup Forums is finally being purged of weeb cancer

>still using numix icons
current year man

more like overrun with reddit

ty.

Because I have slackware on 1600x1200 IPS. Basically unbeaten to this day.

Did someone say resolution?

you'd need at minimum a 15" screen for anything to be readable, and even then you'd have to lean in close to read things comfortably.
1680x1050 is probably the best for a 15" screen
even leaning back you can most text comfortably, and it still gives you a lot of space when multi tasking

>2560x166
>have to use scaling
>only good scaling is 4:1
enjoy your glorified 1280x800 that you paid extra for.

>you'd need at minimum a 15"
Nigga you blind?
>even then you'd have to lean in close to read things comfortably.
Guess so. Also
>implying a 2560x1600 display scaled to 1280x800 doesn't look much better than a native 1280x800 display
Who am I kidding, of course you'd disagree. You're blind as fuck.

I'd like to see you read 8 point text on a 150 ppi screen without scaling form more than 3 feet away comfortably.

Why the fuck would I use a laptop 3 feet away from me? 99% of the time it's in use it's in my lap, that's like a foot and a half, maybe two feet between my eyes and the screen.

so you're saying that you can't read text from 3 feet away at 150 ppi?

So you're saying you need to create some bullshit arbitrary argument that applies to practically nobody (probably not even you) just to have a chance at being "right"?

I'm going to bed. You should visit an optometrist.

bullshit arbirary argument?
have you ever used a laptop on a desk white sitting in a chair?
because that is EASILY 3 feet away.

I haven't. Laptops are portable machines, if I'm sitting at a desk it's because I'm using a fucking desktop.

so I take it that you don't go out of the house very often
ever considered going to school? you're going to want a laptop then, and you aren't going to be putting it on your lap to be taking notes.

>so I take it that you don't go out of the house very often
Daily/ I'm gone more than I'm home. It's the whole fucking reason I have a laptop.
>ever considered going to school?
I'm out of school.

>Daily/ I'm gone more than I'm home. It's the whole fucking reason I have a laptop.
don't tell me you actually use a laptop often actually on your lap in a place that has to have a table. and if it doesn't it's most likely not a laptop friendly environment.
>I'm out of school.
ok then work
>inb4 laptops aren't powerful enough for me

>don't tell me you actually use a laptop often actually on your lap in a place that has to have a table
Of course not. Most of the time I'm using my laptop there are no desks, tables, chairs, etc.
>and if it doesn't it's most likely not a laptop friendly environment
What the fuck is a laptop friendly environment? Some more arbitrary bullshit you need to pull out of your ass?
>work
I work at a desktop.

>Of course not. Most of the time I'm using my laptop there are no desks, tables, chairs, etc.
then why the fuck would you take a laptop there?
that's not where you should be using a laptop.
>What the fuck is a laptop friendly environment? Some more arbitrary bullshit you need to pull out of your ass?
somewhere where you can set it down, probably plug it in, and it won't get niggered from you.

>then why the fuck would you take a laptop there?
Because that's specifically where I want to compute.
>that's not where you should be using a laptop.
I don't remember any rules against it.
>won't get niggered from you.
Absolutely zero percent chance of that happening.
