It's not just resolution though. The screen has a weird, rough, grainy, plasticky appearance. When you're quite close you can see a myriad of tiny, multi-coloured speckles. On Macs it's like crystal clear glass even at low res.

On resolution: even my 16 incher comes set up at 1728x1117. I normally use it at 2056x1329 for a bit more luxuriousness without hammering the battery too much. On occasion, I'll put it to its maximum 3456x2234 (slightly less than 4K) to watch a 4K vid. But who is gonna use a laptop day-to-day at 4K? The desktop is another matter.
