And some people need a larger screen because we don't run the highest resolution possible. I run my 24" 4k monitors at high-density 1080p. My 16" laptop screen is at 1536x960 or 1344x840.
Anything smaller than a 16" MacBook Pro doesn't leave enough screen space to work with.
- fastball 6y agoWhat is it you're doing that 13" can't cut it?
- krageon 6y agoSmall screens have small letters, small icons, etc. My eyesight is very good, but working on such a screen is uncomfortable after an extended amount of time (unless you lower the resolution significantly).
- flagrant 6y agoYou can have a small screen with large letters and a big screen with small letters. You're conflating screen size and feature size. If you have a 4K screen and the features are too small, increase the UI size, don't decrease the resolution. If you're running a 4K screen at 1080p all you've done is waste a lot of money.
- krageon 6y agoOh please, the experience in practice for this is terrible unless you're on Mac OS and even then it's not always good.
- kayodelycaon 6y agoI’m running 24” monitors at double density 1080p. MacOS is rendering at 4K and the monitor is getting a 4K signal. The way macOS handles scaled resolutions make any scaled resolution look native, on top of making everything more clear. Increasing UI size often breaks application across all operations systems.
- fastball 6y agoIs your eyesight really that good? I've worked on a 13" screen all day long and have terrible eyesight and usually eye discomfort is that last thing I feel.
- krageon 6y agoYes, it's been measured.
- loco5niner 6y agoNot OP but I have great eyesight (I think...) and much rather use a big screen (my neck thanks me too).
- fastball 6y agoOk, but bigger screen being better isn't really a roadblock, it's just a QoL improvement. It's not actually a dealbreaker for your workflow, which is what was implied by the GC.
