I desperately need advice!
I am a content creator and I do CAD, BIM and CGI.
I have placed an order with Dell for a 15" Alienware 15 R3 with a UHD display, i7 7700 HQ processor and GTX 1070 GPU and I hope to receive the laptop within the next couple of days.
While awaiting the arrival of my order, I have stumbled on a number of reviews advising against having 4k UHD displays on laptops and I am wondering if I'll regret getting the UHD display instead of the FHD. I am now considering returning it once it arrives.
These reviews have specifically mentioned scaling, battery, gaming and general application performance issues associated with the UHD display on laptops.
Has anyone especially digital content creators had any bad experiences such as scaling of apps or battery performance with the UHD display on the Alienware 15 R3 or gaming laptops in general?
Aside from work, I play FIFA 18 and also occasionally do FPS gaming. Would AutoCAD, Revit, 3Ds Max, SketchUp, Lumion and MS Office applications run without any issues on a UHD display?
Would old games like "Resident Evil 6" and "I am Alive" run smoothly on the UHD display? What about new games like Resident Evil 7 and other new triple A titles? Would gaming experience suffer on the UHD display.
