Default Begle1's new laptop! 2048x1536 baby!

2048x1536 on a 12.1 inch touchscreen.





Native resolution is 1024x768, so I can only see one corner of the screen at once; that means that I can have four windows open at once with no overlap and scroll between them with the mouse or touchscreen instead of Alt-Tabbing.

Yeah, I multi-task like that.

Does it have that Apple "nipple squeezing" feature to expand/contract the view?

No.

I'd like a "desktop customizer" program that would let me do something like that though, or maybe let me snap the screens to the quadrants of my desktop.

I know I'm a little slow, but wouldn't you want a bigger screen if you're going to divide it up into 4? I can barely read my laptop as it is

This laptop has a 12.1" screen and locks the screen resolution to 1024x768, but I can turn the desktop resolution all the way up to 2048x1536.

So that means that I can open four 1024x768 windows on the same desktop, and I can only look at one at a time. So instead of alt-tabbing between windows, I can just scroll to them across across the desktop.

Notice how the screenshot of the desktop has the full picture of WALL-E and EVE, but the actual picture of the laptop has only a portion of it.
