1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

It depends upon how you sea it. Hiring a low-coast surveyor might cause (or alleviate) the problem.

Hi all,
As programmers what would you prefer?
A) 16:10 + i7-1165G7 + thunderbolt 4
B) 16:9 + ryzen 7 Pro 4750U + usb c
And why?
|
|

As a programmer, what counts for me is (a) the screen area, (b) I/O speed for compilation, and (c) memory for tools, debuggers, multiple IDE sessions. Once you go over a certain threshold (which both processors pass), CPU speed is less important.
All other things being equal, a 16:10 scenn has slightly more screen area than a 16:9 screen. The Intel CPU can execute AVX-512 instructions, which is useful if I am writing high-performance code. Otherwise, I see little to choose between the systems; they both appear to be good development platforms.

Following up on Dr. Pfeffer's post (couldn't resist that reference):
You probably mean a larger size monitor, but I have a laptop with the extra-wide screen, designed for media more than anything else. As the screens get smaller the difference in the two monitor types can be important.
Essentially, on this "media laptop", do to the wider aspect ratio I had two bad choices. Either I saw a decent number of lines of code (and any sort of document) but it was too small to comfortably read or I could expand it (for example, to full screen width) and the reading was fine but I saw so few lines it was also a problem. View the entire page at once was, even if just to check formatting (documents) often only marginally useful.
The rest - I can only agree with "the Dr's" answer. Unless you're a gamer on the side.

Ahhh - you misunderstand.
Going to a university long enough to receive one's doctorate is a public service in that, although not working and an adult, you still do not count as unemployed - and for a reciprocal reward, during that time you don't count as a slacker !
When all is said and done, I (as a classic example) didn't have a real paying job until I was thirty. It is accepting my duty as a responsible citizen and I take, having served my country in this way, very seriously.

The one with more ram and a bigger SSD. Both will matter far more than differences between two high end CPUs; and the laptops built in screen is going to be my tertiary display anyway so I don't really care that much. I'll be using my existing USB-HDMI dongles so TB4 doesn't matter.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

After using something very much like B - a recent purchase of mine - but the pro rather than mobile version of that CPU, I'm thinking about forgetting about intel altogether.
Also thunderbolt plugs into nothing i own so personally, I'd skip it.
16:10 is the only advantage of that other machine, IMO.
