t b h familia I'd rather have 768p + good GPU than a higher-res with a shit GPU. Which is exactly what I got when I memed myself and bought an IdeaPad, it had a 1080p screen but a shitty 650M that could barely manage some games on high settings and you could fucking forget about Ultra.

>>60422295
i have a y510p, after 4 years my power cord is finally dying, but i dont want to pay $120 for a 170 watt cord.

look on the bright side, you won't have to deal with windows' shit scaling

Buy y50-70. Is pretty decent for the price.

>>60421693
DPI scaling is still so fucked up that you might as well just stick with a low res so you can actually see shit on the screen.

1366x768 makes me want to kms

I'm still using my Lenovo Z580 from 2012 (3rd gen i7 without the dualcore bullshit), it's a shame they're still using 768p resolutions in 2017 tho.

>>60422536
I like my 1080P 15" laptop, even without any sort of DPI scaling.

>>60422565

Even my T430 has a 1600x900 screen at 14" and it was made about five years ago.

btw the z flip is made in japan

>>60422295
Lenovo support is utterly shit in my country. I also wanted a barely decent dedicated GPU (940m is minimun).

>>60422380
>Good gpu + 768p
>no gpu + FHD
I'd rather have neither.

>>60421693
I had the same reaction at first, but turns out the lower res is better on anything sub-15".
Can't see shit on a 14" 1080p.
Also power draw.

>>60422729
>1600x900 dogshit TN panel
Is that supposed to be impressive...?

>>60422799
Power draw issue is highly inflated. And is not like you cant reduce resolution when on battery for saving energy.

I actually want a 15.6 notebook, although a 14" would be nice, but there is no decent one with dedicated gpu on my country anywhere.

My ancient i5 2410m is actually 15.6 and 1080p. Is is a little on the small size, but with 125% DPI on windows 7 it looks perfect.

>>60422872
>And is not like you cant reduce resolution when on battery for saving energy.
are you even listening to yourself? why the fuck would you shell out the extra money on a 1080p display when half the time you're going to be running it at a blurry, shitty non-native resolution? are you just a mindless sheep who likes having BIG NUMBERS?

>>60422827

No. That's why there's the qualifier "even" in there.

>>60422922
Calm the fuck down. Reducing resolution for 720p video playback is done automatically and there is no quality loss.

For text writing is also ok, which is not something I care for high quality anyway.

Also, I use my notebook pluged in on the uni quite often, And like I said, this is mostly a myth for computers. there isn't much difference in battery life in the first place.

>>60422295
>getting a non thinkpad lenovo laptop

OP i bought a 440p thinkpad for pocket change and it has 1080p screen so I don't know what youre talking about

>>60422799
daily reminder to know what you buy

scale   ppi   4K      FHD
-------------------------
1x      96    45.8"   22.9"
1.25x   120   36.7"   18"
1.5x    144   30.5"   15.2"
1.75x   168   26.2"   13.1"
1.875x  180   24.4"   12.2"
2x      192   22.9"   11.4"

>>60424452

So, 4K on anything less than a 46" TV is stupid? Noted!

>>60421693
>I want to murder every "engineers" of every major technology company that are still puting ridiculous 768p screens in notebook
it's not the engineers, it's the bean counters
the price difference between 1366x768 and 1920x1080 is FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS
not only is that five dollars more profit, it's an easier sale at the best buy

You completely retarded. All info you ever need can be displayed using 1366x768. Stop acting like a fukken snowflake. The only reason higher resolutions exist is because of the spec race to make """older'''''' displays look obsolete.

The most popular resolution in '99 (you know, when the economy and interwebs was booming) was 800x600. I'm pretty sure professionals still got shit done then.

You need more than 1366x768? Don't make me laugh.

>>60424496
>HONEY I CAN READ THE SCREEN WITHOUT MY GLASSES, THE TEXT IS SO CLEAR, NOT BLURRY AND SMALL LIKE THAT OTHER LAPTOP


Literally this. Most laptops have Windows installed which doens't do SHIT with dpi scaling by default. Your gf WILL pick the low res one.

Wait for ryzen mobile apu.

I live in a third world shithole and I paid the extra shill for a 1080P screen.
It's matte though but I am thinking of completely changing my life and go outdoors more often to make use of matte cover.

It's a lenovo 510 15ikb with i5 7200u and 940mx.

Will probably upgrade with a 240gb SSD but I don't want to void warranty yet because lenovo build quality is terrible and I feel this thing would fall apart quickly and wouldn't live the 6+ years like my old asus laptop.

>>60425172
"HD Ready" literally means "720p or better"

>>60421693
I never understood why'd you need super screen on a laptop. For any extended use you still need an external display or risk injuring your back and neck.

>>60422364
>even a 400 dollar phone can have a 1440p screen but not your 400 dollar laptop

>>60425216

HD Ready literally means it can accept a FHD signal and downscale it to whatever resolution the display actually is.

Small screens cost less to make even if they are much higher DPI.

That said, you dont need 1440p on a laptop, it'll just give you worse battery life and scaling issues for the benefit of text looking slightly sharper.

Don't bullying me ;_;

Sadly this also goes for phone, but no one gives a fuck because of muh bigger numbers.

Why are they selling 2C/4T i3 as i5 and i7?

>>60421693

Tell me what 1366x768 is so bad anyway? I've been using it for ages, no issues.

Is this a gaymer meme or something?

TV is a VA panel atleast, can sit back more

I a friend who wants a "thin" second hand laptop but doesn't want to pay over $400. Right now she's stuck on 2011-2012 MBAs, and I can't convince her that it's not a great idea.

Are you Lenovo Yoga's better?

>>60428936

>>60429708
Because they are asshole. Even more strange is the fact that i5 with 4 cores do exhist for notebooks, I thought the "HQ" quadcore line was just for i7, but there are mobile i5 with no hypertreading too.

T430 machines have an issue with screens, they fucking cause headaches.

>>60424600
This is kinda true. I have a 13 inch laptop with a 1080p display, and I have to have the dpi set to 125% to read it at a reasonable distance. 1366x768 probably would have been good enough.

Lenovo Y520 bro.
Has 1080p ips display

>>60424600
Modern content is at least 1080p unless you're some kind of cable tv cuck that's still watching shit in 720p/1080i so you're the snowflake here grandpa

Because you won't pay for a better one.

>>60421693
More pixels=More power usage=Shitty laptop. Look for a desktop or desktop replacement if you want pixels.

>>60432293
By your logic if I want infinite battery life, I'd go with a 320x280 screen.

FUCK OFF. This is a myth that must die already, 1080p is not much more battery heavy that 768p for a desktop. it is not equivalent to smartphones.

I'm not asking for 1440p or 4k, I just want the barely minimun and not able to count every single giant square on my face. 1080p is the ideal.

>>60422565
You get a new Thinkpad IPS panel for $90. And the best thing: Even a retard with a potato for a screw driver could replace it in 15 minutes.

>>60421693

>>60431461
>gayman laptops
So you're buying something that's essentially as portable as a Desktop but costs 4 times the price and can't be upgraded later? xD

>>60432136
This. People want cheap shit. As cheap as possible. Then they complain about lack of build quality.

Three reasons they put screens like these:
1. GPUs, especially shitty ones, handle 1366 x 768 much better than HD
2. Battery life is better on smaller screen.
3. For dumb casuals its enough, what, your facebook page dont display correctly?

OP here.

I found this:
http://www.dell.com/br/p/inspiron-15-7559-laptop/pd?oc=cai7559u1715715br020&dgc=SS&cid=53294&lid=1366673

I think I'll get it, it is 150USD off, which is a lot.

A little bit more than my budget (about 1000USD with our abusive 60% taxes, so equivalently to 650USD)

We only have shit ancient leftovers here in my country and this one is at an amazing price compared to everything else.

i5 6300HQ (real quad core 3.0ghz, not those weak low power dual cores)
GTX 960M (even more than I needed, I already have a desktop with a 980, but having a decent graphic card, 940m+ more would be nice for casually playing something)
8gb ram (1 channel, which is good so I can save now and get 8gb extra in the future)
Shitty 5400rpm hard drive, but it is fine, it has an M2 slot, i'll also save now and get an M2 drive later and use that as a data drive.
6 cell battery: Most options nowadays are saving on the battery, 4 or even 3 cells, which is ridiculous.
Most importantly:
1920x1080 IPS! I hate TN displays, this is a proper one.

I know dell is a pretty mediocre brand, but the cheaper ASUS, Lenovo and ACER with full hd display are vastly inferior. Lenovo and Asus have terrible support around here.

>>60423042
It does, though. Graphical processing is something that chugs a lot of energy. Lesser resolution = less graphics being processed = lower power consumption.
