@coopey This one I’m looking at is similar to the screens you used to get on traditional car sat navs. Not quite as bad as them but nearly.

@matigo It's not just resolution though. The screen has a weird, rough, grainy, plasticky appearance. When you're quite close you can see a myriad of tiny, multi-coloured speckles. On Macs it's like crystal clear glass even at low res.
On resolution: even my 16 incher comes set up at 1728x1117. I normally use it at 2056x1329 for a bit more luxuriousness without hammering the battery too much. On occasion, I'll put it to its maximum 3456x2234 (slightly less than 4K) to watch a 4K vid. But who is gonna use a laptop day-to-day at 4K? The desktop is another matter.
@hazardwarning Going from the the 16" MacBook Pro to this is a gigantic come down, but even compared to a non-retina mac laptop of similar size it shames itself.

@matigo Is it the 1920x1080 version? The 3K version would presumably be better.
@matigo I had one once before, the T400 I think. It was a bit heavy and clunky. This one (T480s) is more modern, light and tidy. Don't like it's screen though; it has a grainy plastic look. Seems like a very cheap display.
@matigo I don't think I've seen any Willis films apart from that erotic one with Jane March.
Bought a second-hand Thinkpad so I could play around with Haiku and some Linuxes. Made sure to get one with a reasonable battery.
