Yes, perfect start to "Why my Windows 10 crashes?" It seems as all the stupid IT journalists have created the biggest fake news ever.

But to really use the advanced USB-C/Thunderbolt/DP1.2_Alt_Mode/PD2.0 features, even advanced users and computer manufacturer support staff seems to be confused to some degree!

Using the "fake news" as a source now? No, the same source DW you linked as well.

The level of automation in in...

Acer Swift 3 SF313-52 review (2020 model, 3:2 display and IceLake hardware)

I do not share Your view, that Europe is throttling free speach and the free expression of opinions. Even less so I see Germany throttling european social and ecomic devellopment, last not least I do see a ressurgance of old - nurtured by lack of education & formation - prejudices, nationalism and ...

Or would be as bad if not for the globalization and the internet which makes it rather impossible to completely close everyone off (except maybe in North Korea). Not really. The Internet is still free (to some extent), but not the common platforms people use to communicate. The debate we are having...

I thought this thread had been closed :D Or do you seriously want to say that there is no difference between state media in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany and todays modern mainstream media? I can comment the comparison of the Soviet Union (Eastern Bloc in general) and current mainstream media and...

Drug gang violence in Sweden linked to 60% increase in bomb blasts
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... s-increase

Last year 257 bomb attacks were reported to police, up from 162 in 2018

And they have to accept it.

NEC introduced a new 4:3 desktop monitor again in 2015: https://www.necdisplay.com/p/displays/p212-bk-sv

DPI is unfortunately too low (21" 1600x1200 = 95 PPI only), but still a good start

And still no good display options for the X1C8. The WQHD is the low-contrast one and the 4K wide-gamut one has no sRGB emulation (unlike HP or Dell) so it is useless in most of applications.

but also in terms of resolution & special features

Yes, no way to get a $30 cheap 55% sRGB low-res 16:10 display and use it in a $2000 laptop Until then, Lenovo is not interested.

- There is no indication that the competing business lines of Dell / HP are moving to a different aspect ratio. Because these dinosaurs (including Lenovo) aren't able to change themselves. That's why "obscure" PC laptop brands like Microsoft, Huawei or even Chuwi (with all the limitations and quali...

I think your Matebook 13 has much shorter key travel (just 1 mm vs. 1.7 mm on the T490) It is 1.2 mm but it doesn't matter. Anything worse than X220 or older keyboard is sh!it anyway. CPU performance is actually very good for a Core i5 ultrabook and it has much better display provided by a single v...

I say this every year though, and I know the probability is zero !

Of course. But there are other aspects. Those thin models like T490 have crappy trackpoint, short key travel and bad cooling.

Pretty awesome, except keyboard is sh!te, sh!te, sh!te. Like on every laptop out there.

Yes, including ThinkPads. There is no way to get proper laptop keyboard anymore.

Also, the bulkiness issue of 16:9 laptops has been partly mitigated by having smaller bezels That's true but there is another issue, narrow keyboards. That's what I like on ThinkPad X31 or the MateBook 13, the keyboard is full width. No useless "landing stripes" on sides and "microkeyboard" in the ...

Oh yes, I would hate 14" 1920x1080 because the resolution is too low (156 PPI). Currently the 13" 3:2 2160 x 1440 (200 PPI) is perfect. I simply find the 16:9 form factor stupid, wide and bulky. I need vertical resolution.

Current ThinkPads do offer this functionality. FN + arrow left replicates the Home key, FN + arrow right replicates the End key function. No, it isn't the same. Other vendors provides all four Fn + arrow keys combinations additionally to the four (clustered) navigation keys. Currently HP Envy 13 ha...

Ironically even a 200 euro Umax "laptop" has much better keyboard layout than any ThinkPad.

It's all Fn+arrows.

Yes, but for me it is still far better than the stupid 6-row ThinkPad keyboard layout. There is even no [Fn]-ed + arrows option other brands (HP, MS Surface) have. Ergonomy last

16:10 is MUCH better for productivity. And 3:2 is even better. I don't expect 16:10 in ThinkPads because the 16:9 low res/gamut crap Lenovo use is still cheaper and ... I don't care either as the ThinkPad keyboard layout is garbage anyway, worse than most of other laptops on the current market. I a...

Oh yes, but expect it to be removed in the future as well. That's why I no longer rely on it.

I disagree that that layout is better. It's garbage.

Compared to old ThinkPads, yes. But the 6-row ThinkPad layout is extremely stupid as the Pg Dn/Up and Home/End keys are split to opposite sides of the keyboard. This keyboard layout is still better.
