The bit where he talks about the 4:3 aspect ratio reminds me of when my old school 'upgraded' from 4:3 monitors to 16:9 monitors, that were the exact same width, but shorter

[@asnodgrass]

If I'm going to have a standalone monitor, give me 16:9 or 21:9 and maybe a couple 16:9 in portrait to go with it. If it's on a laptop that the body is likely already going to be a bit taller than 16:9, why not fill the top and bottom bezel with screen instead? The width would be the same for either aspect ratio because it is limited by the size of the chassis, but the height would be increased.

[@MrMopbucket]

It's actually 3:2 though...

[@CheapBastard1988]

But it's more relevant to laptops due to the limited size. 16:9 is fine but sucks for word processing on a 13" screen.

@@MrMopbucket Precisely. It's not 4:3, it is 3:2. If you scale those ratio's up just so you have an easier time comparing them, 4:3 is 12:9 and 3:2 is 12:8.

[@IroAppe]

@Superkirbeh The Surface Pro is a very different product with different properties and use cases. Please don't confuse them. But yes, they have already reviewed the Surface Laptop (is the right term), and here you could see the changes: Now repairable, USB C instead of Display Port, you can switch the SSD by yourself, but not the RAM or battery (maybe battery in 5 years theoretically but only by heating the glue and ripping it from the chassis, pretty difficult to do), they come in new colors with or without Alcantara and also in 15", Windows Hello works very good, and of course updated processor with iGPU. That's all.

Well, making the screen bigger by just increasing the size with the same pixels doesn't do anything for you. Making it bigger by changing the aspect ratio and adding pixels accordingly and makes a huge difference for an ultrabook (speaking from experience). Imagine it like a phone. Just making it bigger sucks. 21.5:9 aspect ratio which has emerged recently feels great and I don't know anyone who would rather just "have it bigger physically"

My expectations for the two channels are vastly different, which was the intent of the new channel as far as I know.

You'd want metal over the alcantara for durability. Yours looks surprisingly good for how long you've been using it, but I've seen more then a few pictures from people with either type covers for surface pros, or surface laptops where it looks dirty or has rips in it (though it's usually more durable then your standard fabric). That's not something I'd want to deal with, so I went for the aluminum version.

Hey Alex, have you experienced coil whine in either the SL2 or SL3? It seems to be a huge issue though.... thanks. Greetings from Berlin/Germany

Here we are in 2020, and someone from LTT is trying to justify a 4:3 aspect ratio.

[@gareth2261]

Where might one find a fully metal platinum 13,5 inch model? I can only find the ones with alcantara

[@piaulfvin198]

I was thinking about buying a new 13 " laptop so which of these are better Dell xps 13 7390 the 4k touchscreen display or the Microsoft surface laptop 3. Both are 16GB of Ram and i7 10th gen. In terms of processing (using softwares like matlab and solid works) and not overheating which is better Does the number of ports really Matter? And the thunderbolt? Also is it true that the screen is reflective in surface? Is it annoying or can be neglected Is it worth to go for surface over the dell as it's better looking. If only the specs is not that of a big difference
