Image comparison 13” v 15”

[roland.g]

Does anyone have an image comparison of the 13” v 15” screens showing an image full screen on the 15” and then showing how much of that image would be cut off on the 13”. I see a lot of side by sides of the same desktop image but they are scaled to the screen. I thought that would be a good comparison of screen real estate.

Not bad. I’d prefer to see it with an actual image and the lines or the outer section in a lightened shade or something. The colored rectangles don’t quite give it the right perspective.

But thank you.

EDIT: and I was almost fooled to think they were closer. You put in the sizes and used 15.0 whereas the 15" is a 15.4 diagonal.

This is more what I meant in case anyone was wondering.

Isn’t the 13 also scaled down more? Making everything a tad bit smaller?

Yes, I had trouble viewing/using the small laptop. you can change the scaling to increase the size, but a cost of screen real estate. For my the 15" is more eye friendly - at least for my old eyes 🙂
