It’s a 10 inch screen, what kind of resolution do you really need? I’d prefer a lower dpi to save battery life.
I just got a new ThinkPad laptop with a 13 inch screen at 1080p, which is perfect. Enough screen resolution to do my work comfortably but no superfluous dpi to kill battery and cause scaling issues.
- e12e 8y agoFor text (and drawings, figures) I'd prefer 600 to 1200 dpi - as in print. But realistically today, I'd like to stay close to at least 300 dpi. Scaling issues and glitches really ought to be things we can get around soon enough. Battery/power is likely to remain a trade-off for a while though (although there were some efforts on hybrid eink/lcd screens that could trade refresh for power - for certain use cases). All that said, and somewhat more pragmatic: 1080p on a 13" really isn't near high enough dpi for the nice immediacy of drawing with a proper pen on something like a surface pro. It's one of those cases where a difference in magnitude becomes a difference in kind.
