[Tfug] Laptop options

[Jude Nelson]

Having used 4:3 and 16:9 screens to develop code at length, it is my
professional opinion that 4:3 is far, far, far better for coding than
16:9.  I would willingly trade 1080p for 1600x1200 any day, and I'd be
using a T60p instead of a T510 if it weren't for the fact that I need a
modern CPU and copious amounts of RAM for the kinds of research I need to
do as a grad student.  Those extra 200 pixels in the vertical dimension
make a HUGE difference (I have my text on my T510 rendered in 8-pt font
just so I can cram more text on the screen).
