1080p is not "lackluster" compared to a 4k. It's "lower resolution".

4k consumes (more or less significantly) more, which comes at a price - see the widely documented XPS 13.

If one prefers super-high resolution, it's totally fine, but it's not correct to depict 1080p as poor for a work machine.

MacBook Pros of recent years have "2K" (2880 x 1800) displays, that renders at 1050p with extra pixels used for "sub"pixel aliasing. Plain 1080p on a laptop is pixelated for text viewing.
