@azuredivay I'm looking for a 13-inch ultrabook because I'm a Computer Engineering student and I need to carry my laptop everywhere. I once had a ThinkPad 13/S2 and 1080p on a 13.3-inch display looks sharp enough for me

@azuredivay The Envy line goes way out of my price range :( I only have about 900€ to spend on the laptop because if I had more I would go for the HP Spectre 13 x360. I LOVE that laptop!

@azuredivay The laptop I had before was the ThinkPad 13. I loved that laptop! 6th gen i5 U, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 13" FHD, fingerprint reader and it weighted 1.4kg with 6h of battery (tested)! However I had a ton of issues with the laptop, the replacement laptop and with Lenovo Support so I ended up returning the laptop. The money I have to buy a new laptop is basically the credit I have from returning the ThinkPad.

@azuredivay And I need a new laptop ASAP. The one I'm currently using is a C2D 2.6GHz, 4GB DDR2, 120GB SSD (doesn't make a difference xD) and a 720p display. The battery is completely bust and even a new one only gives me about 1:30 of life so I need to carry this 15-inch 2.5kg paper weight with the charger every day. :/

@HoloDreamer It depends on the scaling settings you use. But overall higher DPI means a crispier text that makes text look more like a print than pixel art.

@HoloDreamer In my experience reading smoother text is less of a strain on the eyes

@milkbytes Don't go with high resolution, its just eye candy. Get that when you have money you wont feel sorry to spend. IMHO a good 1920x1080 resolution is as much as you need. And make it an IPS as it cover a wide viewing angle. SSD above 128 GB nowadays is a must, especially after 1 year of working on it. Get the discrete graphics card if you will game on it, but usually you can do without it. And 8GB of ram is minimum today, 16 GB is recommended :)
@azuredivay The only bad thing about those specs is HP in the name, but that one is a deal breaker for me. 😊 -
@arekxv I'll probably go for the ProBook 430 G4. It's the best computer in my price range that isn't a Lenovo. i5 7200U, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD + 500GB HDD in 13.3" (FHD, btw) form factor with removal battery and weights just 1.5kg.
This is a view from a rooftop in NYC that I sometimes get the pleasure to work from. I really like the view an...
MacBook Pro... without the retina
7 years of innovation and best design teams on the planet... can you tell the difference?
So I'm in the market for a laptop and my friends don't understand why I'm being so picky. They don't understand why a laptop that weighs more than 2.0kg is heavy or why a 1366 x 768 isn't good if they have one with the same resolution and it's perfect. This mind might sound really "deep" but I feel like our laptop ends being the same as a canvas is for a painter. We spend 8 hours a day looking and working in these machines trying to create solutions for stuff that the "other people" - non-techies - take for granted. If they can be bloody picky about the pen the use to take notes in their classes and it's just a pen, why can't I be with the tool that's responsible for what I do on a daily basis and love doing?
