I just updated my personal laptop with the dell xps 17 largely because it has a glorious 16:10 screen. My only complaints with the machine is the tiny torx screws on back are very fragile - got an M.2 drive waiting to go in it so I can do my linux install. Lovely screen, decent keyboard and trackpad. All in all, pretty happy with it.

The old Dell Latitude D models had 16:10 displays (albeit at 1280x800 pixels) so for Dell they are bringing it back . 16:9 is just too shallow to do any meaningful work on.

It was never meant for work..

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.

I don't feel right to ask this question using "Ask HN" - how many VMs you usually run?

16:9 is popular because its cheaper for the same amount of inches (which people put in ads), because the area is smaller. Also, production numbers are higher because TV screens are also 16:9.

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.

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.

Yes the Matebook does have 3:2 and no bezels, but it's Huawei, it's only 13 inches, and the processors are the 15 watt versions rather than the 45 watt ones. I'm thinking more of an LG Gram 17 inch or at least 15 inch with these specs.

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.

I just checked mine my slack because I thought 300mb was too low for slack, mine is using 68mb, it used to chew like 1gb... Did they optimize it or something.

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.

Sometimes I feel like the only one who likes bezels. They provide a nice, distraction-free buffer between the screen and the background. You can also pick up sturdier laptops by the bezel, without worrying about getting fingerprints on the screen.

Of course, I also like more screen space, so it's a wash in the end. And I prefer small bezels in multi-monitor setups. So I guess I understand why they're going out of style.

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

2K usually means 1440p

Apparently some manufacturers have adopted that confusing naming. 2K is 1080p though in any reasonable naming scheme:
