Is 4K really worth it? The highest resolution on laptops I've

>>56975663
It's awesome on large monitors (32"+), but stupid on anything smaller.

>>56975663
before you get wrong answers
the only computing platform that is doing high resolution correctly right now is apple
i dont like some of their practices and they are absolute jews when it comes to some things but the last good thing jobs ever did is push very high resolutions back when everyone thought 1366 was a-ok
windows cant scale at all and is pathetic in this regard
4k itself is really nice as that extra push for viewing hd movies, but as far as monitors dont go smaller than 13inch retina
personally id love to have one of those 5k imacs for shitposting later on

If it's on a small screen like a laptop, you're just going to be scaling everything up to read text, so it's pointless. The best thing about 4K is the extra screen space, but that space isn't usable if everything is ant sized.

Dude Macbook Air's aren't even FHD. They are like 1400x900 or some shit.

Also Most nice laptops are 4k now, Macbook Pro are like 2.5k

Yes, they are also the cheapest computer they sell, but I believe they should phase out non retina devices

>most nice laptops are 4k now
4k in a laptop is a meme, and theyre either gaymen laptops or macbook knockoffs that run windows, which is terrible at scaling 4k

4k is the new standard.
Retina is the meme.

>Is 4K really worth it?

Depends on your use. 4K TVs good for monitor use are a pain in the ass to find, but they're around. 4K laptops are great for coding and web browsing because the pixel density makes text super crisp. 4K gaming is great, but it takes a lot of money to do it. You may not max anything out, but it's still really worthwhile.

4k on laptops is pants on head retarded. Just destroys battery life for no good reason.

Posted from my 4K 50" shitposting station.

>1600p
lol my laptop is from 2012.
Macbooks were maxing out at 1280x800 back then.

New thinkpads shit all over the current Macbook Pro. Literally three times faster with almost twice the resolution.

>>56975944
I think there was maybe a 3 month period when Apple finally went FHD where they had a higher resolution than ThinkPads.

The other decade, ThinkPads won.

We all know staying in the closet makes people like you suicidal.

>Apple becomes super-shit as soon as I buy and iPhone.

Time was I would kill for a MBP, but their entire PC line is complete shit. They haven't updated it in ages. Now I'm looking at a Surface Pro.

My 27" 4k monitor is great, though. Not sure what's supposed to be wrong with it. It still only has half the pixel density of a flagship smartphone.
