...sure it works but its still sucks compared to other resolutions
>been using a 1920x1200 laptop since forever
>can't ever buy a new laptop because they don't make them in 16:10 resolutions anymore
This isn't fantastic at all.
>>53836555
Like 320x480?
>>53836558
Get one that runs at a higher resolution but then just set it down to the 16:10 that works for you.
>>53836192
Most Macfags use the 1280x800 scaled 2x...
So they basically see less real estate than 1366x768..
>>53836555
Imagine 1920x1080 in a 12" laptop. Shit would be barely readable
>and fuck dpi scaling, it's shit.
I usually run my 1920x1080 14" laptop at full resolution on its own, then when I dock it to a larger but lower DPI screen and use its builtin one as a secondary off to the side, I put it down to 1366x768. Full res further away from me is fucking illegible, and the DPI difference is more.
Only actual 1366x768 machine I have is a 12" netbook. The resolution feels fairly high DPI on such a little screen.

Nobody posting on /g/ has full blown autism. Asperger's probably but even then mild cases. I take it you've never seen a true autist...

Sometimes on 4chan we save filenames with names that make the files more interesting. Plus I can call files however I like, and it's really none of your business.

Holy fuck the Macbook's keyboard beats the shit out of my Thinkpad's. All these years I fell for the chiclet is shit meme but this keyboard blew my mind away. It's fucking amazing. It's like typing on a cloud!

Why do you believe Hitler did nothing wrong? After all you didn't say otherwise. Maybe we should pay attention to what a person says, not the vast amount they didn't specifically say something against.

>Why do you believe Hitler did nothing wrong?
Well Hitler did a few things wrong, there's still Jews around and the Nazi party is pretty much gone.
>Maybe we should pay attention to what a person says, not the vast amount they didn't specifically say something against.
Maybe, maybe not. After all, you niggers will argue with anything.

would it be stupid to buy a 15in 4K laptop right now?
>>53836869
Yes. Especially if you plan on running Linux.
>>53836840
My post about the 16:10 was NOT a shitpost
If you really want to waste your screen, you can do it. Here's my laptop running at a 16:10 resolution. It just cuts off the sides which I guess 16:10 retards like because they're afraid of extra space
>>53836902
this is a quality shitpost
>>53836869
go to a store and see for yourself dude
>>53836898
i thought scaling would be easier on GNU plus Linux, though
i use xfce and it's possible to set everything up in px
why do you consider a bad option?
>>53836192
1080p is legit twice the pixels of 1366x768
>>53836902
>compacting 4K resolution to 1920x1080 space
try doing it like me
>>53836950
There are many many applications that don't scale correctly or at all. It makes applications completely unusable. The console will also have very tiny text making it difficult to use. It was definitely not worth it for me.
>>53836902
A true 16:10 has a less moronically short screen. In reality, 16:9 chops the top and bottom off.
>>53837010
That's what you did. I only scale 150% so I have the screen space of 2560x1440.
You appear to have 200% scaling so you're basically using a better looking 1080p screen.

You're a big card.

8 isn't enough and I figure by the time this laptop's life is up 16 won't be enough so I got 32.

My problem is that a lot of programs do not play well with scaling, since 96 dpi has been standard for 20 years prior. Fucking Photoshop has 4-pixel-sized icons to manage toolbars and stuff even on 4K screens.
>>53836869
remember that 4K displays are power hogs, every laptop that comes in FHD/4K flavors has like 25% worse battery life with 4K
>>53840114
That's why you should switch to a loonix distro with a good DE. Any program that uses gtk 2/3 or qt I never usually have any problems with sclaing.

on windows maybe. On OSX it just werks
>>53836192
I'm running a 1920x1080 display and I still think it's too small. Could just be that I have Firefox set up with most of the toolbars enabled like an autistic oldfag.

>>53840423
As someone seeking an autism diagnosis (although it'd have been aspergers in the past and i'm wavering on whether it's that or just social retardation + horrific time management), yes.
>>53840435
Kek, you cant make this shit up. Good luck buddeh
>>53840429
Actually yes.
Now imagine the performance of a phone with a modern SoC, and a 4 inch 480p screen.
At normal viewing distance there was no noticeably difference between my 1080p nexus 5 and 480p htc desire s.
>>53840399
In the DSM-V, but not the ICD-10.

ADHD is a common comorbid for autism spectrum disorders. I should know, I was diagnosed ASD and all but diagnosed ADHD as well.
