3200x1800 is 282 dpi. That's about on par with high-end tablets, worse than good phones (440 dpi or so), and worse than jaggie-free laser-printing (600 dpi, although that's not strictly comparable). Text on high-DPI laptop screens looks enormously better than on low-DPI ones. And whatever issues Windows has with it, ChromeOS scales everything great.

Sure, at work I have two 1920x1080 24" monitors, and used such configuration for several years (had exact same config at previous job). I like this better than the other offering of one huge 4K display (30" or was it 36" - I don't remmember).

  24" 4K is a really good option though

    I agree, but on OSX that is the same screen real estate as 1080p. I personally use 5K monitors so I can get 2560x1440

      Y but with much sharper text :) 5K 27" is better obviously but 3x the price.

      You can change the scaling in the control panel though.

Well, if you believe Apple (and in this case I do), then it's less about just DPI, and more about the combination of DPI and common viewing distance. Phones are generally viewed at closer ranges than tables, which are themselves viewed at a closer range than laptops, which are also probably viewed at a closer range than workstation monitors. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_Display#Technical_definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_Display#Technical_defin...

Comparing laptops to tablets/phones is a bit silly though. You hold your phone/tablet much closer to your eyes than your laptop is. A phone needs to be pretty high dpi. A laptop doesn't.
