My laptop is a Samsung ATIV Book 9 [1]. It is getting old and I will have to replace it soon, and sadly no one is making an awesome laptop this good any more, not even Samsung. The display, the backlit keyboard, the general build quality, and the industrial design is better than even MacBooks.

- ziml77 6y agoI'm actually happy to see that resolution. Usually the only resolutions you can find end up giving a pixel density of 143ppi or 286ppi. 143ppi doesn't look great while 286ppi looks excellent but comes with a large penalty to battery life with the extra power needed to drive the display. Microsoft picked the lower side of the middle-ground with 201ppi. I'd obviously have to see it to be certain, but I'd expect it to not be perceptibly worse than the ~226ppi that Apple uses on their laptops. This lack of middle-ground options was actually something that frustrated me last year when I was buying a laptop. It was one of the big motivators for me picking up a MacBook Pro instead of going with another Windows machine.
