I was asked to spec a highend laptop for Sharepoint 2010 development. Due to extreme space constraints at the client site, using a secondary monitor will not be possible. So naturally I ask for 1920x1080 (or better) resolution. They* come back to me with a 1366x768 spec.... :mad: * Not even the retailer, one of our 'top' hardware guys...
A number of years ago I suggested through our suggestion scheme that developers be given a second monitor (because I wanted a second monitor) and was given 50 quid reward for an idea that should improve the productivity of the developers.

Can't remember the exact details but we had a system we had developed running on a server for a while, then the infrastructure people changed its settings to the average that it had needed over the time it had been running. For some reason it started to run badly at times after that. Someone then went to try to explain what average means to them.

[My articles]I wonder if you get laptops with 3840x2160 resolutions? :rolleyes:

I might get a 50 quid fine for being disruptive, if I did that!

[My articles]They did something even more incredible last week, and costly, but they are still very sensitive about it so I will not be putting details anywhere public. Maybe in a few years time when everyone involved has left and the company has forgotten how much money they have had to fork out to fix the problem.

I had to wait two years in order to get a 22" desktop monitor... :rolleyes:

Depends on the system being used. Laptops are limited to 2 screens, and shoehorning a 2nd gpu into smaller cases can be a challenge. USB2 solutions are unfortunately bandwidth crippled, and I'm not aware of any USB3 gfx adapters. And even they did exist my work laptop/docking station don't support them. :(( :((

Last time I made a spec (for our new workstations) I plastered it with links to manufacturer recommendations, which, in the end added up to quite a bit more than I would have demanded, had I not done the research. Better yet, my specs were accepted exactly like that, because IT couldn't give any valid reason against those specs. These babies are due shortly, but until they've run through IT (standard installations and stuff) I guess it's gonna be April. can't wait to get my grubby fingers on them! :) Maybe you should've dug up some good sites on ergonomy considerations to get a better screen resolution? I don't know SharePoint, but I guess taking photos (preferably with an anlog camera) at different screen resolutions might have helped.
