If you’re looking for an affordable Netflix machine, the Spin is a great candidate — especially given its movie-friendly 16:9 aspect ratio. I’ve been using the Spin as my primary work driver for a week, and I was able to get done most of the things I needed to — Google Docs for work, emailing, tweeting, etc.
Two screens, five cameras, one hinge, $2,000 It’s a weird sort of relief to be reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. It has a whopping 25:9 aspect ratio, meaning it is very, very narrow. Heck, Google Docs is actually halfway decent on this screen when you put the device in landscape mode.) inch display.
I was able to write this entire review on the Duet, but going back to the 13-inch 3:2 screen on my personal computer felt like a whole new world. The display does have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which I appreciate — and if you’re used to using 16:9 panels, you’ll notice the extra vertical space.
What follows are reviews of a variety of laptops that you might want to consider for the use of yourself and your family. The compromises exist, but the gist is that, for Google Docs work, Zoom calls, streaming, emailing, and other tasks that many students spend the day doing, the Swift 3 does the trick. Chromebooks.
The panel has a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio — so not only is it wide, but you get an extra bit of vertical space compared to many popular laptops. When I worked in a full-screen Google Doc, there was so much emptiness on each side that I felt like I was wasting space.
inch screen is cramped for a desktop OS like Chrome OS (though it is bright enough to use outdoors, and I appreciate that it has a 16:10 aspect ratio — 16:9 would be unbearable for me at this size). Oh look, a port! On the other hand, a 10.5-inch But it was too small for me to comfortably use as a work driver.
But not every game plays nicely with the 21:9 aspect ratio. If you’re purely gaming, you may not need to make any adjustments to the color profile, but the out-of-the-box contrast and brightness settings were not suitable for simpler use cases, like using productivity apps — namely Gmail, Slack, or Google Docs.
It’s not perfect, but it’s practical Recently, I’ve reviewed a large number of Chromebooks aimed at students. The display on my review unit is a 300-nit 1920 x 1080 IPS panel. It does have the cramped 16:9 aspect ratio, something I’ve been glad to see other ThinkPads shifting away from this year.
The compromises exist — I’ll get into them later — but the gist is that, for Google Docs work, Zoom calls, streaming, emailing, and other tasks that many students spend the day doing, the Swift 3 does the trick. The other hindrance is the 16:9 aspect ratio, which makes multitasking a pain. percent screen-to-body ratio.
The bigger software problem remains: Amazon does not have access to the Google Play Store and is therefore lacking many of the apps you are familiar with on a phone (think Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Docs, etc). In fact, Amazon’s own Luna subscription gaming service doesn’t work on it.
You can adjust the monitor’s settings using a tiny five-way control nub underneath the power LED, and it’s remarkable how much you can tweak — including the ability to crop the entire panel to 4:3, 16:9, or 21:9 aspect ratios instead of stretching out the image. The ultrawide aspect ratio didn’t work as well for video as I hoped, though.
The market is saturated with machines at different price points and power levels; Ive been testing and reviewing Chromebooks for years and know what you should be looking for, and what you can expect out of these laptops. As you might expect, they also work well with Google services like Photos, Docs, Gmail, Drive, Keep and so on.
