If you are looking for a Linux laptop, get one with a HiDPI display. Linux finally looks great and if you ever use it on HiDPI, you wouldn't want to go back to FHD. I went from 13" FHD to 13" 3200x1800 and the quality improvement on Linux Mint/Cinnamon was striking. Hackintosh also (subjectively) looks better than on original retina MacBook. Touchpad however is massively better on MacBook.
- TACIXAT 8y agoThe only bummer for me with HiDPI are the Linux apps that don't support it yet. If I launch Aseprite or Processing3D the windows are comically zoomed out. Small price to pay for using the (IMO) best OS for developers.
- bitL 8y agoYeah that still happens :( Some (Blender, Wine) however allow adjusting DPI, so all you need it is to set it to 2x value.
