My current laptop I bought used and didn’t realize that HD wasn’t 1080p, but rather 720p… (1080p is apparently FHD), whoops. I’m currently using a Latitude 7290 for reference and it more than meets all my regular needs (other than the screen resolution…). I have been using a tiling window manager and moving to apps that don’t waste as much space on my screen to try to help compensate.
Assuming Desktop is 1080p is probably reasonable, but there are a ton of good used business laptops that are still 720p, so it’s probably going to stick around for a while (also, why encourage e-waste).
For reference, my laptops specks are:
i7-8650u
32 GB RAM
2TB SSD
As long as I stay out of VM’s and do my development in lightweight editors and containers, this hardware could technically last me a while (also, I think the 7x90 series Latitudes are some of my favorite laptops).
