Screen size too small?

Br
- in Lenovo
13

Hi

I'm (as you can see from my other questions) looking for the right laptop.

Now I have the problem that I can only find my desired specs in models with 13.3 inches…

The ThinkPad L13 yoga has everything I want except for the display.

Therefore, here is a small survey of what you think.

What do you think are 13.3 inches too small for the work (electronics technician, which also means coding something or layouting a PCB) and maybe playing something in the evening

Because I actually wanted a 15-inch model, but unfortunately it doesn't come with my wishes.

Oh yes, and please no nice advice like that I can just as well take this or that notebook. Because I like Lenovo and its ThinkPad keyboard + robustness of a laptop)

Thank you for your answers. (and if you are already reading the question, vote a little short, because each of you has a laptop and his opinion on it.

For the road I currently use 14 "(Thinkpad T495), but I also worked on 12.5" (Thinkpad X240) for a while. I don't really see the size as a disadvantage, because it keeps the device small and mobile

If more space / a larger screen is needed, you can still connect an external screen

At 13 'you don't need to buy a laptop - you can also take a tablet.

So I have a 15.6 inch Lenovo ThinkBook and it is extremely pleasant

Yes, but unfortunately I will have no other choice… XD

I'm an architecture student and I also use my HP envy 13 inch to create CAD models (3d models).

When I got a 13 inch device, I thought that I would only use it on the go, because it was much too small, but I found that the long battery life and the weight of only 1kg also offer a pleasant flexibility in the apartment. Sometimes I just stay in bed and work there, sometimes at my desk, in the afternoons I like to work on the couch or in the garden.

Always on the same device and always without even realizing whether you are reading a book or a laptop.
What surprised me most was how close the footprint comes to A4 ^^

Thank you, I will have to hold it in my hand. Wasn't it a problem for you because of eyes or something?

You get used to it, and if the display is good you don't notice any difference. At the beginning I also thought I needed the number pad but after 2-3 weeks you get used to everything ^^

Take something small, and then a 24 "or 27" monitor, plus a BT mouse / keyboard combo. It's cheap. So you can work great with it.

Sorry, there are hardly any tablets in 12/13 ". Android will fall out because of the software. IOS is VERY expensive. Okay, Surface fits and is really good.

Sorry, there are many tablets in 12/13. You already contradict yourself in your own statement. Other examples would be the iPad Pro, Fujitsu or Lenovo also offer devices.

Br

Well, it's just that such a screen is not so portable and since I'm doing an apprenticeship, I can't set up entire monitors there xD

Br

Well, I'm sorry, but we have surfaces at school… So 1. Your performance is really not good and 2. The damn things only have a USB xD that is totally annoying… At least another Thunderbolt or, for me, n USB type c…

No, not always, but at home.
