http://ubuntuforums.org – I am looking for a new laptop and I was wondering if any of you could help me. I need a laptop with: Needs to have at least a core i5 processor Needs to have a Intel HD 4000 integrated Graphics card Needs to be moderately slim, I don't want it to be ultrabook slim but I also don't want it to be extremely thick either (probably something like the Macbook Pro Retina 15") Needs at least 4GB of RAM, preferably 8. Needs to be 15" I would EXTREMELY prefer it to have the native resolution of 1600 x 900, although I would be satisfied with a 1920 x 1080, though I still prefer the 1 (Hardware)

Tonight in New York, Lenovo introduced two brand new tablet/laptop hybrids under the name of IdeaPad Yoga. Those two devices will be Windows 8 powered. Two screen sizes are available, 11″ and 13″.

Sorry for digging up, but does anyone knows the answer to this problem?I am experiencing the same with Slim:* When I'm using my default laptop monitor, Slim's resolution is the monitor's native but,* When I'm using my external monitor (through hdmi), Slim's resolution isn't the native.Thanks

[ubuntu] Help me find a laptop 3 years 22 weeks ago

Okay, I'm looking for a laptop. I would love to use system76, but unfortunately they are out of stock of their Serval Pro, and that is the only one that is up to par with what I need. I want something that is very high end, with at least a 2.8ghz processor and ddr3 memory, as well as a 1gb graphics card. Preferably at least 1600x900 resolution, if not full 1080p.

Slim Resolution 43 weeks 3 days ago

I connected an external monitor to my laptop earlier today. grandr only allowed "Clone" mode -- no "Extend" mode -- so I manually configured the layout using xrandr. I tried to undo everything when I disconnected the monitor, but I don't know if I got it right. I've restarted now and the resolution of the Slim screen is wrong.
