Is it worth buying a 17' laptop for web design with full hd or is hd+ enough?

Question

laptops

Will there be a difference in working in Photoshop at 1600x900 or is it worth overpaying and getting full hd?

Answer 1

Alternatively, take a 13-15" laptop (1366x768) for 5000 rubles cheaper. Buy a 21-23" used IPS Full HD LG monitor for 6000-7000 rubles. Of the inexpensive used ones that are now being sold, I recommend the LG IPS236.
You will have two screens with the most popular resolutions and physical sizes, as well as different technologies (TN and IPS). What are the advantages for a web designer, I think you don’t need to paint.

Answer 2

Worth overpaying. From my own experience. I also made an additional monitor for myself and brought all the instruments to it. See full layout without scale and overlap - I don't understand how I used to work without it)

Answer 3

17 is not enough for a monitor for web design - the elements will be quite small on fullhd, it is convenient to work from 21 inches.
Note is of course mobile, but that's where all the pluses end.

Answer 4

It always seemed to me that a monitor for any drawing is chosen based on technology. Colors, etc. It is worth overpaying for IPS Nec or someone else producing monitors with normal colors. And the resolution and size are the last thing they look at based on the wallet and Wishlist.
PS: an average neck with IP 27 costs 70 rubles

Answer 5

If it's just a matter of resolution, there's no difference. I have two monitors, one 17 and the other 24 for me there is no difference in resolution.
I work mainly on 17 inch, and on 24 a browser with a bunch of pages is open. Yes, as mentioned above, a large monitor is more visible and more space, but I just put all the operations on hot keys and made the display stupidly workspace and now I'm not overjoyed.

Answer 6

you need at least 21 inches and full hd to work, otherwise you will hang yourself later when you spend half the time opening the necessary panels in the program and other interaction with the interface, and not with the layout.
Of course, you can learn hotkeys and hide the interface, as Pavel Anpleenko said , but where Photoshop is, the illustrator hangs out there, all sorts of axure and sketch, indesign comes to visit, corel draw runs through throwing poop, plus clients very often like to send "sources" in the format doc and xls - you will fucking learn hotkeys)
