Sony Xperia 5 II review: the right tool for the right jobs

The Verge

The combination of Sony’s trademark 21:9 aspect ratio with a slightly smaller 6.1-inch Given Sony’s photography ambitions for the 5 II, I’ll allow it the physical shutter control, but the Google Assistant button feels unnecessary — especially in a position that’s too low to be convenient to press.

HP Envy x360 (2020) review: AMD wins again

The Verge

So if you’ll need to be working with Premiere Pro for video on the go, don’t buy this (at least until Adobe fixes that problem). A big part of that is the display: the 2020 Envy has an 88 percent screen-to-body ratio, compared to 79 percent on last year’s model. This is far from a deal-breaking problem, of course.

Dell XPS 13 OLED review: more pixels, more money

The Verge

Nothing else about this XPS is new: it has the same thin and light build, the same tiny bezels and webcam, the same glass-fiber palm rests, and the same 16:10 aspect ratio as the past couple Dell XPS 13s I’ve reviewed. It’s a 3.5K (3456 x 2160) panel with a claimed 100,000:1 contrast ratio. Photography by Monica Chin / The Verge.

HP’s Spectre x360 14 review: the best 2-in-1 you can buy

The Verge

It’s kept the same 90 percent screen-to-body ratio.). Microsoft’s Surface devices have been using the 3:2 aspect ratio for years, and I’m glad that the Spectre line is finally making the switch. That means if your daily tasks are similar to mine, the Spectre should make it through your workday with no problem.

Acer’s Swift 3X includes Intel’s new Iris Xe Max discrete GPU

The Verge

Acer claims an 84 percent screen-to-body ratio, a slight improvement from the Swift 3 I reviewed earlier this year (82.73 I’d still have no problem carrying it around in a backpack or briefcase. It’s also a 16:9 aspect ratio, which I’m not a fan of — I had to zoom out from the recommended DPI to comfortably work in multiple windows.).

MSI Summit B15 review: average business

The Verge

Additionally, it uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is falling out of fashion among premium business laptops for a reason — it’s cramped for multitasking purposes. I didn’t encounter any problems while running it through my usual office work. Photography by Monica Chin / The Verge. I would expect more from a $1,249 laptop.

LG’s latest Gram 17 makes a stellar case for 17-inch laptops

The Verge

The Gram communicates its biggest selling points — lightness and longevity — so effectively that it outshines some persisting minor problems. The screen’s large size and 16:10 aspect ratio give content a lot of room to breathe. Wherever you use this laptop, glare could be a big problem, like it can be with a TV.
