It may be difficult to consider such a laptop after using one with a better screen though. I think that’s his point.

Meh, I switch between a Macbook Air M1 and a Linux desktop with 24" 1920x1200 screens and it's fine after tweaking the font hinting a bit.

FWIW I find low DPI screens uncomfortably blurry

It might be enough to show the text, but there is still no enough space on the screen. On 1440p disply for example there is so much more to run apps side by side.

How good is your eyesight? 150%? This is a 14" screen.

Ironically my need for glasses due to old age means I get magnification and can read smaller fonts on smaller screens!

I am using 100% on my 1440p 14” without problems. I guess good then.

That’s just simply facts, you can read more here: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/

It may not be perfect and if I get my face close enough I can see the pixels, but that doesn't make it not correct. The text is displayed, I can read the letters without issues - that means they're displayed correctly.

I'm using a different hidpi display as well, and don't really care for the difference. The link does discuss real issues, but does not prove anything about "text displayed correctly".

1080p on a 14 inch laptop is the same density as 4k on my 28 inch screen. I have to try really hard to see any imperfections. Under real-world conditions suboptimal lighting & reflections are a bigger issue on a laptop screen than some sub-pixel features of text.

Lamborghini cars are faster than most jeeps. Facts, does not mean its a overall better driving experience or that jeeps 'simply' are not driveable.

I like your reasoning here but lol at your specific examples. Nobody really considers Lambos or Jeeps as being particularly drivable. Lambos try to kill you and Jeeps rattle your brain.

meh your right ! At least about about Jeeps :p

I have an old 2008 jeep rubicon. Its basically a nice red tractor with aircon and radio.

BUT I feel like OptimusPrime(Transformers) everytime i get into my jeep to go buy groceries !

Lambos are amazingly drivable at speeds over 150mph... Just anything below feels like driving a shaker or rodeo.

The blog post is good in showing that the "non-starter" because cannot "display text correctly" doesn't hold. Specifically it talks about how Macbooks by default utilize fractional scaling that messes up pixel-crisp text. Gonna bet that there's a significant overlap between those that call for ridiculously for their size high res displays yet are fine with those defaults.
