1080p is about as high as one should go on 13" Windows display. Windows has poor and blurry scaling for many apps. Higher and you're paying more and wasting processor power. While Macs have better scaling, performance in high dpi modes is worse than in low dpi modes.
- savagej 10y agoThat's a general blanket statement as fact. I went 1800p on 13" laptops 3 years ago. That is as low as I will ever go. I also have a Samsung Tab S2 8.0 for reading and a Nexus 6 phone. My next 13" Ultrabook will be a 4k OLED. Nothing else contends.

- Klinky 10y agoFor general purpose usage and for gamers it is "fact", but there are certainly people who prefer high dpi displays in Windows. The first thing I did on my Macbook Pro running Windows was to turn off the terrible scaling, and lower the resolution. The panel's upscaling is better than Windows. I don't mind high dpi on my Android phone since Android handles high dpi well. Eventually high dpi will catch up in Windows, and I'll be "forced" to accept the horror of a 4K OLED ;-)
- whamlastxmas 10y agoStrongly disagree. I have had multiple 4k laptops and the difference is huge. Scaling does suck for many apps, though.
- elcct 10y agoAll the apps I use have high dpi support. I can't imagine going back to 1080p.
