I am also waiting for next gen Ryzen laptops and maybe next gen graphics, and now also next gen screens... Last time I got a new laptop was because my old one died, and I had to get the best one currently in stock, this time I can hpefully wait until something new and exiting comes out.

[@wenkunliu9984]

I do love having high resolution panels and they look absolutely amazing. However, the method I use to decide the most suitable screen resolution for me is to set the windows scaling to 100%, and see if the icons or texts are too small for me. If they are, then the corresponding resolution is a bit overkill for me. I do this because I think a lot of software developers hasn't figure out a good way to scale the UI and other things related to scaling. I daily drive a 1440p 165hz 27in display and I think that is the sweet spot at least for me. I am just saying all this because a lot of people seem to put too much hype on resolution instead of the actual user experience. And, a 1440p display with high refresh rates is great and all, but it does not seem reasonable for me on a 15in laptop screen. If you don't sit too close to the screen, you might never notice the difference. Maybe I am just getting old, who knows.

The dual display one isn't meant for gaming. THOUGH with that said, given its market, it really should be a quadro card. Though I agree, that weird backslash spacing isn't cool. Also, I don't know about other touch typers, but I rarely use my right "Shift" key. I'm primarily a left shift key person, so they could have shortened up the right one a bit.

for me, every multiplayer game is still very ok to play in 1080p.

[@SapioiT]

Honestly, I wish they'd add a knob/joystick to it, without removing the trackpad. And, as you said, remove that button between Left Shift and Z. That button is really badly placed. I would personally place the joystick/knob either between Right Control and UP (arrow key), or between the UP (arrow key) and trackpad. And two scroll buttons wouldn't hurt, between left-click and right-click, next to the trackpad. For like +$50 for the consumer, they could add those changes and please everybody. Also, having some tactile feedback to keys, for orientating ourselves to the keys without looking at them (even if they have RGB) would be nice. Move the F1-F4 more to the left, move F5-F8 more to the left, and leave the F9-F12 and Del/Ins where they are, and make the "ridges" on W, F, and G extend to the ends of the letters, so we can feel them from the nearby letters, if we touch the margins of the letters with ridges.

To be fair when using a laptop you're usually much closer to the screen, so the pixels will be more noticeable even on a smaller screen.

[@TheIrisCZ]

My take on 4K displays on laptops - I want one because I usually work more than I play games and the added fidelity really helps with headaches and making my eyes sore less especially while working with text. When the display also supports high frame rate, it's win-win. I have no problem setting the game to 1080p on this monitor and playing at 144Hz because the scaling works great at these resolutions and I don't need the same level of detail for a short period of time to play a match at CSGO... Also having 4K streaming services is great. If it was also possible to downsample already low-bitrate Netflix, I would consider smaller resolutions.

@@xX12VincEXx I'll tell you right now you'll not have a decent 4k screen at 480hz and a machine that can run it so that it isnt completely stupid in 13 years. Hit me up later!

[@ottojagenstedt9740]

@Yes 》《 yeah, and how come that didnt explode after sony released one several years ago? Samsung is rumored to drop the resolution on the s21 and the s20 wasn't even 4k to begin with. My point was, we will reach a point where a tech feature will be fully objectively unneccesary and a waste of money to "improve" just because we can. Okay I'll put it like this. Not regarding flip phones/hybrid tablets but normal phones. Some day 4K screens will be so dirt cheap and easy to make, yes that can and will probably be the standard. Some people can tell the difference and most wont, whatever. My prediction is that somewhere _after_ that in the future, the only reason why 8K would become standard on all phones even down to the super cheap budget ones is that those types of panels are so prevalent in everything produced while 4K panels aren't so we come to a point where it's *cheaper* to put an 8K display in something instead of 1080,1440,4K because it's easier for samsung or who ever to just pump out super high resolution displays to use in everything including your fridge. We're not going to switch over to 8K phones because of the amazing benefits it would bring but because of cost in this far future. They're not going to keep pushing refresh rate until we have 10,000hz monitors, even tech have a limit where it's completely nonsense to improve just because we can. If it happens, it's not because our eyeballs get a benefit but something else.
