Does 4K make sense on a laptop?

That's not going to help at all with power usage. The issue is the physical power draw of the 4k panel and backlight, not the GPU having to render at a higher resolution.
Only 1.5? Wow, that seems really tiny. I have my XPS 13 at 3x (under KDE, but that shouldn't matter). I never understood the appeal of touchscreens. Hate smudgy screens. I do wish it was 16:10 when I bought mine.
I used to think that too, but I have proved repeatedly with my p51 that I get ~10% battery life from just dropping my screen to 1080p from 4k. I do however believe this is based on the panel because they are not all created equal.
I agree with this. Honestly, that XPS 17 is actually physically smaller than my 15" laptop so getting that with a 1920x1200 screen would be amazing.
Oh, greater than 1080p/1200p is fine on a laptop, it's just that Windows laptop makers have this weird all-or-nothing approach to displays that doesn't take battery life or scaling into account. Either you get a basic 1080p screen or an all-out 4K touchscreen that cuts your battery life in half and requires dramatic scaling. The Goldilocks in-between resolutions like 1440p or 1600p are seemingly dying breeds outside of the MacBook line. |
