Computer peripherals?

Confidential sorry

:erm: Oh very fancy. I was not asking for details, a simple high level description. I.e. sales/stocks/analytics.

Exactly what data do you need to see real time ?

At my company all employees receive:
Macbook Pro 15" + either 32" curved Dell monitor or 2x23 Inch Dell monitors.
You can also get stuff like standing desk, laptop stands, etc.

Additionally you also receive a Dell desktop (if you want one), with 16GiB RAM + i7 CPU + 512GB SSD, 2TiB HD.

In my previous team a guy tried using 2x32" Dell monitors but found it very hard.
I personally don't go beyond 2 monitors.

Additionally we get R2k budget to buy anything we need. eg. Mac wireless keyboard, etc.

Jesus. What company is this?

Profit margins must be silly Shaftings

Sounds like an overkill re both MBP and Dell desktop. An iMac + Apple 5K Retina monitor is my stable: Windows, Linux, etc. run perfectly well in a Parallels' VM. With 32Gb RAM I have more than enough resource to run both server(Linux) and client VM(Windows)instances and my IDE(macOS) at the same time.

That's just because you guys use Gnome.

Sorry just educate me is that the all in one unit from Apple the 27 screen with the build in Pc?

That tickles my fancy.

What exactly is retina and is it only apples build in screens or does Dell etc sell retina screens I can buy and use on my pc?

Ahhh marketing gimmick.

Ahhh marketing gimmick.

They called the iPhone 4 display retina because you couldn't see the individual pixels with your eye. That was back in 2010.

I saw,.

Basically any high dpi display ie any Dell monitor is a retina display.

I wonder who makes the apple back panels?
Sony or Samsung?

In the older iMacs (i'm talking 2013-2014 here) it was an LG IPS panel.

Nope far from it, Retina is a combination of software & hardware. 5K 27" screens when view without the software would be bordering on unreadable re default OS font size would look very tiny. What the software does is to virtually group these tiny pixels together into a virtual size point, effectively making the rendering of an image and font more legible by using more pixels i.e. Everythng looks a lot more like magazine print (i.e. Your eye/retina cannot see the pixels).

Where the software comes into play is in adjusting the fonts in relation to the increased DPI in relation to the same 27" size; virtual screen resolution is always less (divided by 2, 3, 4, ...) than actual screen pixels. On top of that the software applications also have to support retina; basically larger / higher DPI images are required without affecting layout.

All the current Apple kit supports this; support on Android varies substantially; e.g. Samsung only supports it on their top of range devices; but the biggest issues with Android is a lack of applications supporting these high DPI devices. Meaning that simply havng a higher DPI monitor does not guarantee a better experience.

Nope the display itself is only called high DPI,
Retina as Apple calls it; requires both the OS and applications to support it.

That does make a hell of a lot of sense.
