I used my DPT-R1 for about 10-20 minutes, and then left it for 10 days, and it still had 4 bars in the battery indicator, so I guess it doesn't have a defective battery, which is a good thing.

[Although I basically did the same thing again in the last 10 days, and it went down to 3 bars.]

Using the DPT-R1 to read a paperback non-fiction book 2 pages at a time, I have come to realize how useful a 13.3" 2200 x 1650 laptop would be. The 4:3 ratio is still the best for office productivity in anything smaller than 24-inches, in my view.

Even a 14 or 15-inch laptop with a 2200 x 1650 screen would be enormously useful for me. Too bad nobody makes them. The Microsoft Surface Laptop at 2256 x 1504 is pretty close, but it has a glossy screen, which is suboptimal. [Still a pretty-good package though.]

My DPT-R1 is compensating for my X1 Carbon's stupid 16x9 screen, and the money went to Sony instead of Lenovo for the new model [since they still don't offer a tall-screen laptop.]

Essentially, DPT-R1 aspect ratio and resolution is great. [Wouldn't hurt to go higher, though.]
