I wish 4:3 was still a thing on laptops.

There are 3:2 laptops like the Framework and Huawei matebook x pro. But 3:2 is still quite far from 4:3

I've used one briefly, it was fantastic. If only Microsoft's Surface wasn't the biggest player in the 3:2 market.

Framework uses 3:2 displays in their 13 inch model. Great little laptop and easy to repair and upgrade as well!

I didn't know that, thank you! I was going to look into a Framework laptop when my ancient clunker finally bites the dust. Knowing that they have a 3:2 makes them even more appealing.

Since they announced their AMD based system, I was waiting until they would become available where I live. As soon as they did, I ordered one and it's without a doubt one of the best laptops I ever had (the surface pro is also very high on that list), and on top of that it's very customizable, repairable and upgradeable.

I want 1:1.

The newer Lenovo X1 is damn near 4:3, I think mine's 1900x1200

[–] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I guess 1920x1200. The equivalent in 4:3 would be 1920x1440, not really close.

[–] Fox@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

About as close as you're going to get these days

[–] QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

1920x1200 is 16:10, and it’s pretty common. The Surface line uses 3:2, which is even closer.
