I need to buy a new laptop. I like the 14" form factor. I need windows. How is modern windows 10 DPI scaling? 10 years ago it was hideous. Is it any better now? Does intelliJ look decent on a 1080p 14" screen?

imo it’s still not great but it works well enough compared to how bad it used to be

[Shawn]

most of the nerds I’m acquainted with are fans of various thinkpads and the dell xps line, though I don’t think there’s a 14" version of the latter

[groostav]

I'd actually probably be replacing a Thinkpad T440P with a T495

(the T440P was 6 years old. RIP.)

[Shawn]

such is life lol

[Shawn]

I don’t know of any specific caveats with the T495 myself

[Shawn]

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a good option for you

at this point I really just wish that new AMD chip would make its way into laptops... i dont want to buy an (effectively) 3 year old intel cpu. I want one of these 8 core renoir monstrosities.

I hope that new thinkpads with new amd processors will come asap

new mobile ryzen 2 will be available in April

[tapchicoma]

and so they are looking good

Wait a bit and get the Asus g14...

[kenkyee]

Wish it has two memory slots though.

I am actually still waiting for this. Specifically I think im gonna get the Lenovo T14 but the asus zepherus has me wondering. I like the nub mice on laptops.

I am also waiting for suited for my needs Ryzen Laptop. If you get one - could you tell in a few words your impression on it?
