Better in what sense? Your LCD backlit screens probably have worse color quality than modern laptops. They also do make laptops with higher resolutions (like 1920x1080)...It's sad when phone displays offer better resolutions on smaller screens (like 720p on my Galaxy Nexus), that is close to the 1366x768 resolution you find in many laptops.

These laptops don't, they actually have a better color gamut. Just to reiterate on resolution this is another laptop I have, for a 17" it did 1920 by 1200 (most TN panels produced aren't manufactured with that kind of resolution to cut costs). Also I have a inspiron N7110 with a res of 1600 by 900 and viewing angles are just horrible overall, colors are not as great but better than the washed out color of my toshiba M115-3094

Never letting these babies go.

I have a laptop, I can't remember the brand, anyway, it is sitting in my closet right now which it has about the same resolution size as my brother's 27" iMac's resolution. I couldn't remember exactly the size which I know it's over 2300x1600 something like that. I will get it fixed and put windows 7 on it. Right now, it has Windows XP, I think. I am not letting it go.

The rest of the laptops I have, they have same 1920x1080 resolution. One of them has 17" screen... it's heavy to carry around so I keep it here. I take my modern laptop with me wherever I go.

take some pics of that sucker, I'm a bit anxious to see it now :D

Stage one (okay, make that three) of my plan is now complete. The new desk is installed.

I'm loving all this desk (really, it's a table) space. The old desk was way too cramped.

I understand what you're saying. Obviously owning a Macbook Pro I want a nice quality to my screen and not just resolution (as resolution is not as important as colour to me as a designer) ... and to be honest, most modern laptops under ?500 have horrendous screens with terrible viewing angles. I know this because I bought a few before switching to Apple. No problems since and I'll never switch back. You like what you like don't you? And if these work for you, that's awesome :)

I sure do, but you're right when you spend the money you know what you're getting in most cases.

Moved today and spent a while fixing up my new workspace, opted out of my second monitor for more desk space until i can get another OLED monitor. PC is behind the wall which is my closet, which is ok cause the closet is frekin HUUUUUUGE lol. Receiver is in there as well, getting a remote IR receiver for my remote so I dont have to go in the closet for anything.

Looks good, when I moved I was going to do the same thing with my hackintosh but in the end I got lazy and just got an iMac :p But this is pretty much spot on what I wanted to do! Real cool to see someone else did it!

Yep, I know the monitor on the right is sort of lower than the rest. Have to find something to set him on. Just got a new Dell 24 in the middle. That is a picture of my "Computer repair office"

The tower you see on the floor, is my server and it's only powering the top left monitor.

This machine is powering the other 4

    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

Open Source (C++, wxWidgets) Cross platform for Windows (7/10), Linux, RPi and Mac (if self-compiled) WebChangeMonitor 26.06 release notes: Release 26.06 brings mostly s but updates the underlying core infrastructure. A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
