Hi!

I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I was without an internet connection (apart from work) for quite a while ... which is quite horrible if you have a handful of laptops coming for testing and you can't even launch it / run updates etc.

Anyway, it's getting ridiculous.
You could think I'm working for a PC magazine, testing all these machines .... I'm tired of it.

Because the colors of the HP display seemed weird to my eye, I did a lot of color calibration (well, as much as you can do on a laptop) ..... and I kind of became obsessed.
Which is weird because my old laptop surely didn't have a very good display. But I guess now that I buy a new one and spend a lot of money on it, I want the best I can get.
After all I work a lot with photos and graphics, so having a color accurate display is necessary.



At the peak time I had 4 laptops lying around (one being my old one ....). INSANE!!



Dell XPS 15 vs Lenovo Thinkpad T580:



Dell XPS 15 (9560):
FHD (1920 x 1080)
color gammut: 98% sRGB
 i7-7700HQ, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

Thinkpad T580:
 UHD display (3840 x 2160)
color gammut: 91% sRGB
i7-8550U, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

As you can see, the Dell seems a lot smaller although they're both 15-inch laptops.
Dell uses the so-called "infinity edge" display, the bezels are so thin that it's a 15-inch display in a 14-inch housing.

Does anybody here have one of the machines and can give me the pros and cons?
That would be very helpful. Thanks. :)


More entries are coming up soon!! ... unless my internet stops working yet again ...
Sorry that was also the reason I couldn't read or reply to most of your entries recently. I'll catch up soon. :)


Bye~chuu!
