Good point- I don't think anyone should go for a 4k screen on a laptop. 1080 is already pretty good for laptop screens, 1440 is probably the sweet spot. Aside from the battery savings which are immense, there's not much fractional scaling fiddling needed.

1080 is unusable on laptops for me. HiDpi displays are a must to render text as sharply as possible.

I'm still on 1366x768, haha. I guess it's a matter of being exposed to better and better displays that makes it difficult to go back.
