I agree on the nano-texture display having used one in person for a little bit. It's sort of like an ultra fine matte texture that isn't noticable while using it, but is noticable compared to other devices in the same room. I hope it becomes a more standard option on future devices.
That said, I've used Thinkpads with matte displays and while not as fine, they mostly have the same benefit.
- ymyms 1y agoI think my ideal would be a MacBook Air with both the nano-texture and higher 120hz refresh rate the Pro has. With that, I'll trade an extra second of compile time for my rust projects for the smaller form factor.

- krashidov 1y agoDang I was gonna get one with nano texture but the opinion was 50/50 everywhere so I went with the Devil I know
- rsingel 1y agoIt's the first matte screen on a MacBook since 2011. I ran that thing for like 6 years til the replacement for the failed GPU failed again. More matte screens please!
- christophilus 1y agoI’d love an air with a high density display. My mom has an M1 air, and its resolution is not great. Everything looks a bit blurry compared with my 4K Dell XPS my wife’s MacBook Pro m4 display. I guess the air’s native resolution means it has to do fractional scaling.
- Tagbert 1y agoThe Air has about 218dppi screen, but your wife might have a non-integer resolution selected.
- weiliddat 1y agoYeah the default doesn't do a 1:1 display to pixel ratio. Just to be pedantic it is integer scaled (from 1440x900 to 2880x1800 but then resampled down to the native resolution of the MBA 2560x1600 via something better than bilinear).
- barrenko 1y agoWhat is going on with the Dells recently?
- fouc 1y agoThe m1 air native resolution is 2560x1600 and the 'best for display' default is 1280x800, that's 2x integer scaling. But yeah if you have a different resolution set, it'll be fractional and probably a bit blurry in comparison.
- smileybarry 1y agoTo be it looked very much like the matte coating on Dell monitors, where bunched up same-color pixels have this "feels like there's a rainbow here but if I focus on it I don't see it anymore" effect. Definitely better than ThinkPad matte, though.
