Working remotely doesn’t always mean working from home. Perfect location to endure the heatwave without having to use air conditioning. #remotework

How have you not been driven mad by the reflections?

Honestly I just don't notice them at all. You can see them if you look for them. I look "through" the screen at the text behind it and they don't bother me at all.

I find reflective screens to be massively worse than matte ones -- Every time my eyes relax, all I see are the reflections.

I was looking for something that is low-cost, has decent screen, where that is defined as non-TN panel with enough density for pretty text *and* the presence of an NVidia GPU for my work.

Aah I don't dare do "low-cost" when it comes to laptops. I nearly always just go "high end X or T series thinkpad" :D

Initially I was looking at some second hand Thinkpads but I was discouraged by the random quality of the units I looked at and at the truly horrible TN panels they still use. I almost got a X390 but then it was out of stock and I'd have to wait longer than I could.

Aah I also don't buy second hand. I buy a laptop to last four or five years when I buy :D I wouldn't use a macbook if you tried to pay me :D

In the end I got this Matebook 13 2019 which works surprisingly well and is super low cost for the value IMO. If only both USB-C ports were able to charge (only left one does) and have Thunderbolt 3 (none does) this machine would be hands down excellent in all regards.
