This is my first question on this forum . . .
At work I have a 27" Ultrasharp hooked up to a pretty powerful Dell workstation and this works great with apps such as Indesign & Photoshop. At home I have a Dell Latitude E6540 i7 16Gb 512Gb SSD both machines are running Windows 7.
The problem I have is that the laptop display isn't great - a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 and even with an external monitor attached this isn't great when laying out large format posters, catalogues and other lengthy publications.
A colleague suggested that I consider going down the route of a Mac Mini but I am hesitant to do this as I haven't worked on Macs for years and as my company offer no support for Apple products I would be pretty much on my own ironing out problems.
I was looking to upgrade to a Dell XPS 15 which boasts 3200 x 1800 resolution however have discovered yesterday that there are issues with ultra-high resolution laptops. Apparently, the native resolution of the (3200 x 1800) screen is so high that it is IMPOSSIBLE to see the UI of most Adobe applications making the machine unusable.
Only real solution would be to duplicate what I have at the office but I am limited for space at home so whatever I chose would have to be a portable option.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
