@David_Eight Thanks! Yeah, I'd like to look at a 3:2 at the store first but I'm not ready to convert as of right now. :)

That *IS* a fun fact! thank you for mentioning it. As a teenager, I worked as a projectionist at a movie theatre. Good times.

@David_Eight There are a few reasons:

- momentum. I'm used to it and 3:2 is an unknown and I dont have room in my budget (money, time, attention) to experiment with an unknown

- I want the same aspect ratio for my laptop as my monitor when docked so that window configuration is consistent between both

- I like to use vertical split for side by side windows

- I occasionally play video games and watch movies which are often designed for 16x9

 

Is my understanding correct that there are no @framework laptops in 16x9 (or 16x10) aspect ratios available right now? eg the pre-order for next quarter delivery is the only option?

It is moderately likely I will need a laptop before that time window and dont want to miss the opportunity to get a framework (but the 3:2* aspect ratio... isn't for me).
