No you just want fancy things. Whatever, that's fine.
But it's not a requirement for 'most developers' - in fact the ones I know with high resolution laptops don't want them, they're just annoyed by lingering issues with UI scaling and tiny text. I can't think of a sane reason for having font sizes so small that you need 4k to display text properly. Text is plenty crisp at 1080.
Also this is a laptop. More pixels means shorter battery life.
Maybe what you really need is a desktop.
- guywhocodes 9y agoI find it's only crisp enough when I use bitmap fonts, I prefer how vector fonts look on 4K but I'll still buy 1080p for the battery life.
- lmm 9y ago> Text is plenty crisp at 1080. It looks so much better at 2000. Of course you can get by with 1080 - hell, there've been times when I got by with 600 - but when you can see more code and read it more easily, it's easier to get on with development.
