> 13.0 | 16:10 | 2K | 450nits | 100% sRGB | Optional Touch > Ultra-narrow bezel | 85% STB It is very nice move from the Dell [0], and also now Lenovo to bring 16:10 display in laptops. It was always for me strange decision, when laptop manufactures decided to use 16:9 displays for all, even for pricey, high-end models. I am highly enthusiastic to see 16:10 displays back after ten years, when numerous notebooks had 15…

I was doing some work on an old 4:3 IBM X41 last weekend. Reminded me what we've lost.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

what are you doing with an ultra book that would make it need 32gb of ram?

Lots of VMs. VMs don't need much CPU time but oh boy do they need the RAM.

This is one place containers do genuinely have the edge (if you can stomach running them outside a VM, of course...)

Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ? "The ThinkPad X1 Nano just has two Thunderbolt 3 ports, " vs. "2 brand new Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports." https://www.slashgear.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-nano-leaked-to-...

I guess it's USB-4 ports, which are Thunderbolt 3.

Hopefully by 2K they mean 2.5K (2560x1600) and not actual 2K with a 1920x1200 screen.

Yes, they seem to have 2560x1600, probably the same display as Yoga [0].

2K usually means 1440p

That seems like an error on the part of the author there, since the image they used specifies Thunderbolt 4 as well.

When can we get 3:2 aspect ratio laptops with zero (>95% screen to body ratio) bezels? So far the Surfaces have one part of this, and the XPSes have the second part.

I'm glad to see a resurgence of 16:10 screens. I'm waiting to see bezels shrink to the point I'll have a nearly 15" 16:10 screen in a 14" laptop body, not to have a number pad.

I have a Huawei matebook x pro, which is 3:2 and has a 91% STB ratio in a 14" form factor. Unless you want the bezels to disappear completely, I don't see things getting much better.

Or chrome. Need 64gb option to run both.

Or Firefox. (writing this from Firefox on Thinkpad with 16GB of RAM)

funny thing: firefox is using ~433mb of ram with ~15 tabs (including gmail, graphql playground, youtube).

slack alone is using 300mb. discord is using another 300mb.

My daily driver is a Huawei Matebook Pro, with exactly those specs... But a horribly placed camera and I think nowadays you can't even buy them in the US anymore.
