Can’t you have 8+16GB memory? Max is 16+32 for T490. That’s pretty ok.
But on display side it’s then 1080p or the 4K screens. No personal experience on 4K, but I’ve heard battery life can take bit hit. I’m happy with lower res as I can use it on Windows without scaling.
I disagree. I have an aging 12" 4K laptop (Toshiba) and it is absolutely glorious compared to non-4K. It get amazing sharpness. I have 3 workspaces:
Full screen Sublime, full screen tmux and a full screen web browser.
It also drives another 4K monitor when I'm in the office.
I really want to find something to replace it when it dies but so far I can't find anything that works well and does not look like someone's go to market product
