    It's a tough decision for me between the QHD and FHD display, since I can't actually compare them side-by-side in person.
    The difference in price is nearly $300.
    I'm sure the higher-resolution screen its better for movies and QHD does come with touch capability.
    But for daily heavy business use (8 hours a day), are there any real benefits from the QHD display?
    Is it easier on your eyes (contributing to less fatigue), brighter when working outdoors in sunlight? Is the text and graphics sharper and easier to read?
    How is your battery life with QHD? Thanks

    The biggest difference is that the QHD offers touch. Also the QHD will offer a glossy appearance while the FHD will be more of a matte. I have the FHD display and it will get better battery life than the QHD.
