I'm looking at 4k, 15 inch laptops to use for my studies. I do a lot of pdf reading (medical studies) and could not possibly buy, print out, or store the volume of books i have. I do read through a lot of them completely but i also just use the occasional chapters from certain books and never finish the rest of it. Basically, i want to get a dell xps 15 in 4k because i feel it will provide me with the best possible quality image, as i sit at my desk and make notes, going through my internal medicine texts.
Could one of you technophiles perhaps critique the cps 15 for myself, or offer solid reasons for why another laptop might be superior
I am really liking the infinity edge and build of this laptop.

i might add, i absolutely have no intent on using the laptop for gaming. I do not game. So any contender laptop in 4k, with or without a strong gpu/gpu at all is welcome.

get xps 13
it takes a lot less space on a desk so you can have it open on the side without it interrupting your workflow
>>
>>59898736
yes you make a very valid point
I must have a look at the frys store again at these laptops
i hope it does not look small to me

Get a 15" 2014 refurb mac pro retina. Windows 10 scaling sucks.

4k is a waste just get 1080p retard

>technologically illiterate
Looks like you're just generally illiterate.

I thought this too until i had a look at the 4k models vs the 1080p models

i bet you are overweight
wouldn't you like for poeple like me to have an easier time picking up the knowledge to treat your upcomming heart failure.

I would get the 4k. Makes a huge difference to font rendering if you do alot of text based work.

I'd rather have a retina macbook than 4k screen and have to deal with the horrible windows scaling
>>
You're better off with a Macbook Retina if you want such high resolution since the scaling's better
But are you sure you need 4k? 900p on a 14" just werks for me

>>I'm looking at 4k, 15 inch laptops
I am fairly sure you will have to order a custom model directly from Dell or Lenovo or some place like that because you won't find any laptops with a 4k display in any normal store or webshop.
Also make sure the panel you get is IPS because you don't want to do all that reading on a shitty TN panel.
I'd say IPS is more important than resolution on a laptop, btw. 1080p on 15.6" gives you 140ppi which is about the same as a 28" 4k monitor and way more than a 27" 1440p monitor.
> 4k because i feel it will provide me with the best possible quality image
Just make sure you get to look at the display or check that it's AVHA or IPS and not TN because there is a whole lot more to a "quality image" than the resolution. As an example, I went for 1440p 27" IPS instead of a 27" 4k monitor at the exact same price. One had more pixels but the other had a significantly better picture.

Spectre x360 15

trust me, just don't get a 4k laptop

WIndows scales fine, ignore this pillock. As does linux.
