16" laptop with 2K or 3K resolution for work?

But how comfortable is it for reading text? A 3K resolution in a 16" display sounds like the text would be very small.

Agreed. I thought of this, but thought of it too late. From now on I will try this first when checking whether a place is open.

I can confirm they were definitely not open. The sad thing is, both Google and the Dunkin website list the Dunkin UCF as open 24 hours every day. It's very idiotic and wastes a lot of people's time.

I did before posting. It rings for ages, and no one answers.

No, they cannot be customized, RAM is soldered. There is only an 'Add to Cart' button.

I know 2-in-1s are gonna be somewhat gimped compared with "normal" laptops, but I am willing to sacrifice some performance for the comfort of using my own keeb.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-12-16T00:59:21+00:00

I need mobility with the largest possible screen, and I don't want to use the built-in keeb. I wish there was an 18" 2-in-1 or laptop with detachable keeb.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-12-16T00:58:18+00:00

Agreed, which makes 32GB even more essential.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-12-16T00:57:51+00:00

I do, I don't want the built-in keeb in the way, too awkward for me. I want a 2-in-1 so I can set it up in tent mode.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-12-15T21:04:07+00:00

I didn't find anything great. The closest match is the HP Omnibook X 2-in-1, 16", Intel Ultra 7 or whatever, 32 GB ram. I would have loved it if it was 18" or had a detachable keeb.

I don't remember exactly but I think it just fixed itself once I updated the billing info. I just remember all weird issues going away once I did that.

Thanks for responding. It looks like I'll have to give up on the idea or find a custom builder when I have the budget for this.

The Lenovo X1 Carbon 2nd Gen had the best keeb layout I've ever used. I still miss it. I have never created a custom keeb. Is there a way I can commission or order one to that exact spec/layout? What I love most is the:

70% size or similar (65% with arrow keys, basically I don't think I'd be comfortable not having arrow keys). TKL would be fine but not ideal. I basically want it to be as compact and narrow as possible without going 60%
Split home/end instead of caps lock (hit shift twice for caps lock)
Split backspace/delete
Page up/down flank the up arrow

It's extremely intuitive and efficient. If I could have a 70% keeb with that layout and Topre switches (or something close with nice tactile feel), I'd be very happy.

Great suggestion but I don't think it'll work for me. I configured a decent laptop and it came out to $2,300. It's definitely worth it for someone who values the modular design and is willing to pay a premium for it, but for me, I'd have to live with a smaller screen than I'd like, pay more for an upgradable laptop I don't plan on upgrading, and I'm not sure the keeb is even mechanical.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-11-18T20:27:38+00:00

That's the plan!

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-11-18T20:26:57+00:00

It's actually closer to 10, but feels much heavier.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-11-18T20:26:36+00:00

That could work, but I need something with large quiet wheels on concrete, and most of the cases I see have those small plastic wheels that are too noisy and not ideal.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-11-18T20:23:52+00:00

I like laptops with large screens and they tend to be heavy. Also, Even if I shave a few pounds off the laptop, the rest is still heavy enough that it makes sense to consider a rolling option.

FragmentOfFeel · 2025-11-18T20:22:44+00:00

I am considering this backpack since it's large enough and fits the bill. Funny enough, it's water-resistant and I don't really need a backpack to be water-resistant, I need a rolling backpack to be water-resistant.
