Choice of a laptop: screen resolution and emulators
I currently own a very old 17" laptop that I need to replace.
My concern is about screen resolution. The resolution of my laptop is 1600 x 900, but the norm becomes Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), and this implies that the bitmaps of some calculator emulators will appear smaller, and thus difficult to read. The size cann be changed on some emulators, but not on all of them. As an example, here is the actual size of the Teenix emulator for de HP-67: I think that with a Full HD resolution, this will be too small. Also, on many programs, the various texts will also appear smaller (File, Edit, View, Help, etc.). It is possible to change the font of Windows, but if I try that on Windows 7 some old programs look odd because they are not designed to work with bigger fonts. I doubt that Windows 10 / 11 will do better on that point. Of course, there are still new laptops with a 1600 x 900 resolution, but I'm afraid that they will become quickly obsolete. I recently wanted to watch a video on Twitch.tv, and unfortunately it was only compatible with Full HD screens. What is your experience with Full HD laptops? What do you think? Jean-Charles |
