> Display: 15.6” FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS ugh :(

  Yeah I feel the same. I'd be okay with it on a 13" device

  Agreed. This is a great computer, if the year was 2012. I guess us Apple folks just got spoiled down the line. But knowing that there is at least a somewhat of a good Linux laptop option out there is nice to know, I guess.

  Whats wrong with 15.6" FHD IPS displays ? I thought the optimum display chart looked something like FHD 1080P till 24", 2k resolution from 27"-32", and 4K for anything bigger than 32". I have a 24" FHD monitor, unless I look too closely and focus on the screen during coding I don't usually see any pixels. Hating on a FHD 15.6" sounds like a first world problem to me :P

    FHD displays need pixel perfect rendering to look really good and sharp. People who buy 1440p or 4k displays are ultimately compensating for a poor quality rendering pipeline (a very real issue on MacOS) that just blurs everything to near-unreadability.

  In my opinion anything higher resolution on a screen that size is just wasted GPU power. The author mainly uses the laptop on a stand, attached to a monitor, from what I can tell from the pictures so they're likely even further away from the screen than normal laptop users.

    I have approximately 0.75 / 0.50 diopter, which is fairly mild for age 40. I agree that I feel anything above 1080P resolution for laptop screen is wasted GPU and wasted battery. It feels like a race between battery improvement and hungrier resolutions that's not working out in my favour :-/
