eComStation and ThinkPad

2012-04-23 21:25:39 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [eCo Shop]

Some questions to the users:

• Some models of ThinkPad notebooks are equipped with expensive displays with deep resolution. For example, 12.1" display may work in 1400x1050 mode (145 ppi). As result it's very pleasant to watch photos and HD-videos on such displays.
• What about eComStation, is it ready for high resolution displays? Seems that eCS should be equipped with huge icons, dialog windows should be improved.
