Yeah, developers are a tiny percentage of the zillions of users of computers. Scientists need huge displays for data visualization, financial traders for complex displays, etc. Many other folks are running their business just fine on tiny screens for email, texts, hard as it is to believe, Word docs and spreadsheets. Mobile is all the rage. While I see some utility in it, for a lot of folks it's just playing Angry Birds in meetings and tweeting on company time, imo. And get off my lawn!
When I was repairing a couple of my machines, I was doing dev on the ASUS Transformer. Teeny 10" screen, but 1366x768 was actually better resolution than the old XGA we thought of as the cat's pajamas lo those many years ago, and a keyboard that made me scrunch my fingers together. I would prefer a pair of 24" 1920x1080 screens, though. On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 7:09 AM, Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > I dont think I will be developing on a tablet for a while.
