Great explanation. Move the taskbar to the left or right side of the screen and you will get more views horizontally. Also easier to work with the taskbar from side rather than the bottom. Take some time to adjust but worth it.

Hello, im looking for a laptop to consume media when sitting in the hotel room in the evening after work. Im interested in the Slim 7 4700u version but there seem to be a slim 7 pro variant on the horizon with 16:10 display, 5600H prozessor and imroved cooling. do you think its worth to wait for it? Or is the 16:9 aspect ratio better anyway for browsing web, watching videos and palying some light games from time to time? Also im wondering how the slim 7 behaves when placed on a bed or a couch, blocking the airflow while playing a video for example.
Consuming media is not so taxing. You won't need any beefy cpu for that so a 5600h or even 4700u is a bit of overkill! You can go i5 or 4500u to keep the price down. I think yoga slim 7 pro is great if you need the performance and the screen, but in your case i wouldn't be too bothered about it
3:2 QHD is the best for anything mobile! 3:2 is the best compromise between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio, and QHD is the best balance between FHD and 4K UHD display resolution. Of course, 16:10 may be better for Gaming Laptops for PC games that don't scale well with 3:2. I love my HP Spectre x360 14 laptop with a 3:2, QHD, OLED display, I don't mind black bars at all watching 21:9 widescreen movies.
I found it sad over the years that they dropped 16/10 for 16/9 because you feel you loose so much height, especially on a laptop. It is due to the cost of fabrication, but otherwise it's a big loss for any use. 3/2 is even better. For the work and everything else it's top comfort. Although they are very rare, and I don't think they have much compatibility for gaming, which is sad. Imagine a 3.2 28.3 screen with 3840*2460 resolution, the definition must be so beautifull to the eye.
16 : 10 is the closest to the golden ratio (16.18 : 10). But 3:2 adds extra space vertically (or removes space horizontally), but you get space for the task bars.
I think 16:10 and 3:2 will raplace all Laptops with 16:9 in the near future. Almost all new Lenovo Notebooks will come with 16:10. 16:9 is for multimedia consuming but also very important for desktop monitors because of big size. The 16:9 was just a marketing idea in mobile devices category (such as Notebook) for many years ago but today the consumers realize - this aspect ratio is not so comfortable to work, whriting, reading and browsing.
this. I always had 16:10 laptops, last was the T61p, 1920x1200, it was comfortable for all things graphics. I got a more powerful W520 later but the 16:9 is just not comfy. even on a desktop a pair of 16:10 displays is a good thing, both on gaming, video, browsing or working on graphic stuff.
@@SilverSpoon_ The only downside is gaming, most of recent games will shrunk the image to fit on 16:10. But I don't play games, so I don't care, 16:10 is the way to go!
Yep anything I go from my 16/10 to a 16/9, I feel like my head is being winzip. I feel almost like you have to compress yourself, you neck and shoulder. It's so unnatural. People did not really realise this on desktop as screen became cheaper and cheaper and you can afford a 24 or 27 inch screen for the price of a 19" back to few years ago. But when you compare side by side, a 24" 16/10 is as high as a 27" 16/9, which does not feel right. 16/9 should at minimum be 30" to feel comfortable. But still I prefer the 16/10 aspect ratio. 16/9 is too flatened.
Thanks for this informative video. Personally, I can switch between 16:10 and 3:2 and I like both of them. I would go for a 16:9 if the screen was 15.6 or larger, but after using 14-inch screens with 16:10 and 3:2 it's quite difficult going back to a 13.3 inch with 16:9 screen because it feels tiny!
@@w2best Have you tried the new Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 14.5 (16:10 QHD) panel? It's very impressive considering it comes with high-end specs and a reasonable price.
help me 🙏🏻, I need a laptop to work, but I'm confused about whether to choose a 14-inch 16:10 or 16:9 screen, a difficult choice because so far I've been using a 16-inch 16:9 screen
Working with texts and documents all day i can definitely say i need the height over width, this 3:2 aspect ratio is very close but i am looking for a modern laptop that would have something closer to those classic 4:3 screens.
computer screens started as 4 by 3, then the world went nuts about 10 years ago and manufactures started making this ridiculous wide screens where you can't see any vertical content.. God! They were even marketing it as a selling point "super wide screen" nonsense.. apps will then take some space from the top and bottom of the screen and you end up with 10 lines of document.. and when you put a vertical photo on a screen you find that's smaller than on an ipad. hah!! we're just rediscovering the wheel here but I'm glad manufacturers are getting some common sense back..
I have both 3:2 and 16:9 monitor. I much prefer the 3:2 for gaming and productivity. It feels superior and vision filling!. I also own 21:9 ultrawide back then, I sold it because I hated it when watching movies.. I can tolerate letterbox, but not the one on the sides. For gaming purpose on ultrawide, It have it's own benefits.. but still, I much prefer 3:2 over anything else.
I agree, 3:2 is my favorite too. I use a surface book 2 15. By the way, JFY, a 16:9 video on a 15in laptop is a 14in video (note that a 15in screen is not a 15.6in screen, which is typicall a 16:9 size)
most likely because it's maximum resolution is 3260x2160 which is most likely 3:2 , if you using the Recommended resolution on the desktop which is most likely 3:2 and trying to run a 16:9 video on it, then yes it will not be on full screen, you will need to convert the video to 3:2 first to have it on your fullscreen, that will however either stretch it or will make it longer, 1 of 2 , a way without stretching/making longer also exist but it's the "cut here and cut here" way, basically losing certain parts of the video, in other words just don't bother and use it as it is.
@@cskillers1 the resolution is not important, it can be higher or lower, it’s the aspect ratio that matters, there is not much point in deforming a video just to fill the screen, what I was saying was just that in a 15in 3.2 display you will see a video which is 14in diagonal (so exactly the same size as a 14in 16.9)
@@_Digitalguy yep you don't loose anything with this aspect ratio. it's the same as 16/9 for movies but you gain height for everything else, browsing, working...
The comparison seems flawed as the Huawei laptop clearly uses higher resolution, since there are not only more rows in the spreadsheet visible, but also more columns. You should have set all laptops to the same horizontal resolution to show the height difference in applications (with scaling set to the same value in Windows)
That is true and I'm def not saying it's perfect and mention the different resulting several times. But I don't aim to show the exact number of lines so the principle still applies. :) It's the same windows scaling though.

3:2 and 16:10 was the best aspect ratio in my opinion because more comfort for people who code and write a loong script on their computer and it's just more comfortable than 20:9 because it doesn't take long to drag your mouse from the other side of the screen
@@w2best Sorry, it was of course 1600x1200 (so called UXGA) :) And I still have on my desk old 19" LCD monitor 1280x1024 (it is not exactly 4:3 but rather 5:4) which gives more space vertically than 24" 16:9, but takes less room :)
@@w2best Right, I even think it was in 2002/2003 because later for short time I was an owner of other Inspiron model but with panoramic display - and it was WUXGA (1920x1200 and 16" as far as I remember). But I liked 4:3 better.
Btw talking about "higher" aspect ratios, 16:9 is higher than 3:2 (use calculator if u dont believe, 1,7... > 1,5) but actually it's wider :D It's like a word-play but can be confusing
You achieved 38 of spreadsheet lines not just because of the 3:2 ratio, but because you did not visually equalize the size of the characters (text on the Huawei laptop is much smaller than on the other two). But for sure there is no doubt that the 3:2 ratio is better for productivity as it actually shows more text lines.
Could you make a video for the best laptops for creators? I'm talking digital artists animators and video editors? I just can't decide which laptop to get. And maybe inclusw a few convertibles in it
Great review, I will have an external 16:9 monitor when at home so you made my mind up to go for 3:2 ratio to help when mobile for work, so I will get best of both worlds 🙂
I too am a fan of the 3:2 aspect ratio displays. Both my Surface Pro 8 and external monitor have that ratio. I can read a lot of papers for my research through these screens lol.
4:40 That is not a fair comparison :p On the 3:2 screen you can see more colums, You should zoom in a little. There is not a huge difference between 16 :10 and 3:2.

Very timely, as I am now considering whether Lenovo 16:9 FHD will do, now that they are being offered with Ryzen 7 4750 in the UK. I think it will do for me! 3:2 would be better, but 16:9 will do. Thanks for the side by side comparison. Have you used a ThinkPad 14s Gen 1 Ryzen 4750?
So far i haven't used any thinkpad! I've been eyeing the thinkbook for some time. That has 16:10! But 4750 seems great! That's 8 core 16 thread? Power house!

Two aspects that also contribute to screen space for documents and such are resolution and scaling. The difference between the 3:2 and 16:10 in this example are not equal representations of these aspects. I can tell by the sizes of the tabs
A good comparison. Be careful, your content is full of self-contradictions. You have associated high aspect ratio with high (tall) screen dimension or perhaps largest screen area. It is an easy mix-up to make. Your preferred 3:2 is the lowest aspect ratio in your comparison, not the highest. 16:9 = 1.7, 16:10 = 1.6, 3:2 = 1.5 It was very confusing for this listener trying to replace parts of the commentary with your intended meaning. Still, an informative video.
I think that's because of being a non native English speaker. It doesn't matter if i try. I probably couldn't get all of that right anyhow... I realized a few mistakes when i was editing but working hard on not being too perfectionist.
Somebody help me 🙏🏻, I need a laptop to work, but I'm confused about whether to choose a 14-inch 16:10 or 16:9 screen, a difficult choice because so far I've been using a 16-inch 16:9 screen
most IDEs (code editors programmers use) usually have 2-3 vertical columns: navigation, main editing space, support info/tools. and a few horizontal info lines: file-edit-view-help toolbar, some app specific toolbar, path bar, maybe one support line in the bottom. and for me all this looks very crammed in 3:2. very tall spaces but not wide enough to fill long words/phrases/paths/code. and quite a bunch of programmers would still use 16:9/16:10 for productivity. but maybe once we see more 3:2 coming, IDEs will change and adapt too
When with a 3:2 with higher resolution? I feel like I have tons of space in all my applications with it. But I'm not a programmer. So i can't talk about that and be true.
By the way, I used to avoid 3:2 screens because of the huge black bars you get when you watch videos. But with all honesty, you just get used to them, it's like watching a movie in the cinema. Also, on Netflix you will always get movies with different aspect ratios, so even if you have a 16:9 you will still get the black bars. But the 3:2 shines when it comes to productivity, it really makes a difference. And with the Huawei Matebook, you also have a QHD screen which makes everything looks sharper and nicer.
@@w2best Damn it! When did the slim 7 pro come out? I waited ages for it but I was so annoyed by the delays that I just gave up on it. I agree that 16:10 is a sweet spot.

Your pronunciation is soo good. I understand everything you say 🙈👍 (I am from Germany, so often I have problems to understand everything)
Thank you so much! That is super good feedback to get! :)
The only tip I have is that aspect ratios are spoken as "three TO two" and not "three BY two" as using 'by' would imply dimensions, not a ratio.

but if you edit photos in 16:10 wouldn't it look differently on 16:9 screens as presumably most of your customers would have 16:9
As long as you edit the files in whatever resolution the photo should be there is no difference. That's not related to aspect ratio.

@@w2best Sorry, it was of course 1600x1200 (so called UXGA) :) And I still have on my desk old 19" LCD monitor 1280x1024 (it is not exactly 4:3 but rather 5:4) which gives more space vertically than 24" 16:9, but takes less room :)
@@cbm80amiga AH that makes sense! Those were so different monitors!!
@@w2best Right, I even think it was in 2002/2003 because later for short time I was an owner of other Inspiron model but with panoramic display - and it was WUXGA (1920x1200 and 16" as far as I remember). But I liked 4:3 better.
@@cbm80amiga sadly 4:3 it's not most apps objective, so some apps may not fit well
Btw talking about "higher" aspect ratios, 16:9 is higher than 3:2
(use calculator if u dont believe, 1,7... > 1,5)
but actually it's wider :D
It's like a word-play but can be confusing
I'm actually referring to taller. It's a hard thing to not be a native English speaker sometimes...
@@w2best Don't worry, I understand. And I also know that feeling :D
You achieved 38 of spreadsheet lines not just because of the 3:2 ratio, but because you did not visually equalize the size of the characters (text on the Huawei laptop is much smaller than on the other two).
But for sure there is no doubt that the 3:2 ratio is better for productivity as it actually shows more text lines.
It's very true. Not the best planning of that part, but i think the point got across still.
Could you make a video for the best laptops for creators? I'm talking digital artists animators and video editors? I just can't decide which laptop to get. And maybe inclusw a few convertibles in it
It hasn't been my focus yet but if i make a few reviews and think i have the Intel - I'll do it.
I love my 3:2
Great review, I will have an external 16:9 monitor when at home so you made my mind up to go for 3:2 ratio to help when mobile for work, so I will get best of both worlds 🙂
That's what I do! Love that combo!
I really hate the 16:10
For what reason?
I too am a fan of the 3:2 aspect ratio displays. Both my Surface Pro 8 and external monitor have that ratio. I can read a lot of papers for my research through these screens lol.
Would give us your top options on 3:2 screen laptop? I struggle funding relevant peers of Huawei Matebook 14 with 3:2 screen...thank you!
I think the Microsoft line up is very solid! You also have the screen Swift 3 with 3:2.
@@w2best many thanks! Support from Italy :)
Like the taller screen better. Only thing I missed about Apple 😊.
good work showing pros and cons of each. no perfect answer, depends on primary usage
It certainly does!
4:40 That is not a fair comparison :p On the 3:2 screen you can see more colums, You should zoom in a little. There is not a huge difference between 16 :10 and 3:2.
You make some important distinctions. Thank you for taking the time to compare and share.
Which is best from 16:9 or 16:10
I clearly prefer 16:10!
Great video thanks, I already ordered a dual monitor set 1050p, for work. So....yeah XD
I got my dell inspiron plus the problem i encountered watching netflix wid a huge bezel up and down.. wat setting do u think sir i wll use to adjust and make it full screen
Very timely, as I am now considering whether Lenovo 16:9 FHD will do, now that they are being offered with Ryzen 7 4750 in the UK. I think it will do for me! 3:2 would be better, but 16:9 will do. Thanks for the side by side comparison. Have you used a ThinkPad 14s Gen 1 Ryzen 4750?
So far i haven't used any thinkpad! I've been eyeing the thinkbook for some time. That has 16:10! But 4750 seems great! That's 8 core 16 thread? Power house!
@@w2best Thanks for your reply. I have until tomorrow night to decide on the 14S. Alternatively I could wait for a Slim 7 5800, but that may take another year to get here!
I'm planning to buy newly released realme book which comes in 3:2 accept ratio....this video really helped to me :)
Hi bro are you buying realme laptop
Please reply me how is it
@@manchalagopi6073 today ordered one on Flipkart:)
After lot of research 😅
Which is good one either mi or realme bro
Iam also ordered todya i5 version
Help me choose between two laptops both oled 2.8k resolution at same cost
1. 600 nits + pixel shift tech+ 720 p cam
2. 400nits +1440p cam and next gen processor + con: exhaust vents facing towards screen
My concerns is oled may damage without pixel shift and heat in later but is lucrative
Imo 400nits is fine. There must be some more differences than these? A better camera is a big one though at least if you do a lot of meetings.
Super video. I was looking for something like this. Great work. Keep it up!
Thanks a bunch!
Two aspects that also contribute to screen space for documents and such are resolution and scaling. The difference between the 3:2 and 16:10 in this example are not equal representations of these aspects. I can tell by the sizes of the tabs
A QHD or 4K resolution will show more rows on the same aspect ratio than a 1080p.
nice
A good comparison. Be careful, your content is full of self-contradictions. You have associated high aspect ratio with high (tall) screen dimension or perhaps largest screen area. It is an easy mix-up to make. Your preferred 3:2 is the lowest aspect ratio in your comparison, not the highest. 16:9 = 1.7, 16:10 = 1.6, 3:2 = 1.5 It was very confusing for this listener trying to replace parts of the commentary with your intended meaning. Still, an informative video.
I think that's because of being a non native English speaker. It doesn't matter if i try. I probably couldn't get all of that right anyhow... I realized a few mistakes when i was editing but working hard on not being too perfectionist.
3:2 no brainer.
Like these format ?
if the screens have the same width who cares about the bottom or top bars of 3:2? less scrolling = KING
In the 3:2 they don't have the same weight as 16:9 or 16:10. But i agree. Higher screen is great!
So 3:2 vs 3.2:1.8 vs 3.2:2 aspect ratios
3:2 is good for .pdf display or music display. In portrait mode.
good video, thanks
I'm glad you like it!
Somebody help me 🙏🏻, I need a laptop to work, but I'm confused about whether to choose a 14-inch 16:10 or 16:9 screen, a difficult choice because so far I've been using a 16-inch 16:9 screen
At 14" i always prefer 16:10. You just get extra space and pixel. No loss just gain. 😊
@@w2best God bless you, have a nice day, I really thank you and appreciate your help🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just want an 3:2 with an 3050Ti, 90% work and 10% gaming :D
or with an 3060
Awesome and informative video¡
Still using a 4:3 laptop here.
Whaaat i always thought macbook air was 16:9
Not the ones on the newer chassis:)
most IDEs (code editors programmers use) usually have 2-3 vertical columns: navigation, main editing space, support info/tools. and a few horizontal info lines: file-edit-view-help toolbar, some app specific toolbar, path bar, maybe one support line in the bottom.
and for me all this looks very crammed in 3:2. very tall spaces but not wide enough to fill long words/phrases/paths/code.
and quite a bunch of programmers would still use 16:9/16:10 for productivity. but maybe once we see more 3:2 coming, IDEs will change and adapt too
When with a 3:2 with higher resolution? I feel like I have tons of space in all my applications with it. But I'm not a programmer. So i can't talk about that and be true.
@@w2best higher res results into smaller fonts, I have bad eyesight so I have to scale all elements up and get the same situation on any display :)
16:10 is the way to go!
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Hi! Which one is best for Power BI?
I'm not sure, I'm not much of a power BI user.
thanks
I miss 4:3
3:2
By the way, I used to avoid 3:2 screens because of the huge black bars you get when you watch videos. But with all honesty, you just get used to them, it's like watching a movie in the cinema. Also, on Netflix you will always get movies with different aspect ratios, so even if you have a 16:9 you will still get the black bars. But the 3:2 shines when it comes to productivity, it really makes a difference. And with the Huawei Matebook, you also have a QHD screen which makes everything looks sharper and nicer.
I think 16:10 is a nice balance! I really enjoy it in my slim 7 pro now!
@@w2best Damn it! When did the slim 7 pro come out? I waited ages for it but I was so annoyed by the delays that I just gave up on it. I agree that 16:10 is a sweet spot.
@@brainactivity737 The one I have was made available about a month ago. Only with i5 though. No AMD yet. :(
I'll never go back from 16/10 unless I find a nice 3/2 in maybe 10 or 15 years, if my screen every break.
Thank you. Really helpful review. Solved a lot of unclear issues for me.
That's great to hear! Thank you! :)
Is the text clearer to read?
That depends on the resolution!
Thanks a lot, this really helped me decide
That's great!
so is 16:10 actually larger screen surface area than 16:9?
Indeed it is. You get extra pixels in the height :)
@@w2best But horizontal pixels are reduced in 16:10?
@@andrew007s No they the same usually.
16: 10 aspect ratio is the new 16:9.
I love your plants
Oh thank you! :)
16:9 is the best
You think so! That's interesting! For what reason?
Perfectly!!!!!! 3:2 is the best and my wanted laptop is 14 inch and exactly 3:2 thanks for the vid rlly helped me
Great to be able to help!
Interesting topic! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Very useful
Thanks a lot!!
