Anyone using eclipse or similar on de?

Hi

While I generally use dual monitors for programming I sometimes use just my laptop

My work laptop is full hd but 15.6 inches in size and I wonder what it would be like using this 13 inch full hd laptop

So does anyone have any experience using eclipse or.similar on this machine?

    I use RubyMine.  Generally I use an external monitor and find the 13" screen to be....  small.

    I would buy a 15" right now if it were available.  17" would be even better...

    My 45+ year old eye prefer the larger screen.  Maybe I just need a magnifying glass :)

    I sure hope that Ubuntu (Linux ?) works out scaling on the high res screens...

    Hi there!

    I used an 15,6" 2007 MacBook (among others) before the xps13, I though that changing to a smaller screen would be hard, but it was for the best. Eclipse is my regular development tool and it's more pleasing to work in this laptop than the bigger previous ones. I send you a photo, with the laptop and an external 27" screen (same resolution both, 1920x1080) running Eclipse. Judge yourself :-)
