<\/p>\nLet\u2019s talk about a real problem: our devices screen sizes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We basically have four devices available. The more we\u2019re using computers, the more both extremes \u2013smartphone and desktop- are important. The smartphone is the swiss army knife. The desktop is Gordon Ramsay\u2019s knifes. You can replace the desktop with a laptop \u2013we all do these days- but if you want to edit videos or produce music or 3D, a real desktop is far better.<\/p>\n
We can replace laptops with tablets but not completely depending on our usage: keyboards are still so important and tablets still face the X86\/Arm problem were not everything is compatible or optimized.<\/p>\n
Smartphones are getting bigger and people love it so they say<\/em> because I\u2019ve only seen one iPhone6 XL out there and it seriously looks pretty douche-y. It\u2019s not about ease of use it\u2019s about being obnoxious in public with your big ass screen, it\u2019s like wearing a lime green jacket and your friends are like \u201ccome on now\u201d.<\/p>\n My criteria: smartphone needs to be able to be manipulated with one hand therefore, anything above 4.7\u201d (my old Samsung WP7) is a straight no. Screen quality and fonts are perfectly readable and I keep a bit of privacy checking my texts at a bar. I have a 3.8\u201d phone right now (Lumia 620) and I love how I can make it fit any pocket.<\/p>\n Laptops\u2026 I did everything from 7\u201d (OG EEE) to 15\u201d and my preference is definitely in the 13\/14\u201d. It\u2019s not too big and yet big enough to open some development tools and get things done. Mine has a really shitty screen in 768 but it\u2019s matte and soft also, try to play a 3D game in 1080p on your 13\u201d powered by Intel Embarrassing GMA chipsets.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t own a tablet. Definitely super interested in a Surface Pro 2\/3 (10\u201d and 12\u201d) as it brings me everything I want out of the box. Problem is it does overlap with my laptop and that tablet isn\u2019t cheap. Cheap Android tablets just add nothing.<\/p>\n If I had a big desktop I\u2019d get rid of my laptop and switch to a Surface I think. The real fight is between laptops and tablets to me. As for now my laptop is my desktop so I\u2019ll just jump between two devices instead of three.<\/p>\n That\u2019s probably better for me anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s talk about a real problem: our devices screen sizes.
