Do you guys run your MacBooks (pro or otherwise) at scaled resolutions?

>>58394034
Why would you buy a macbook?

>>58394055
Light
Fanless
Amazing screen
Amazing trackpad
macOS

Don't need any more reasons really

Macs are sad.

The 13'' maximum resolution is 1680x1050.

So basically anyone with a 1080p resolution has more screen real estate than a $1500 DongleBook Pro.

>>58394106
Well this is just completely incorrect

>>58394055

Hey guys, sorry I have the laptop you want but can't afford but if you're not going to stay on topic then leave the thread.

>>58394131

Max scaled resolution on DBP 13'' is 1680x1050. FACT.

A cheap $400 1080p laptop has more screen real estate than a $1500 laptop. FACT.

>>58394491
You can just choose a higher resolution you dweeb

We don't use apple trash.

Can we finally put an end to this meme?

I run mine at the highest scaling in sys preferences. default looks hilariously big and atrocious.

>>58394034
I just use default, it seems the most sane option. I'll use another desktop space if I need more space. 80% of time I have at least one 24"+ monitor attached anyway

Kek has anyone on g actually bought the Macbook (not the pro or air)?

>>58394742
I own one

>>58394736

15" rmbp here, forgot to say. I could see myself using the smaller scale setting on a 12" screen

>>58394034
More than loosing sharpness is not seeing a fucking shit. Anyway the reason text is so beautiful is pixel density: more pixels = less need for subpixel. You should understand by yourself that drawing a letter with less pixels results in worse rendering for the eye. Sorry about my english.

>Light
I've carried a 2kg laptop on my back every day for 6 years and not once was it a problem
>Fanless
I don't trust it to never overheat, especially since I'm stressing the cpu a lot
>Amazing screen
>Amazing trackpad
Can't say anything about that
>macOS
Couldn't care less
>Don't need any more reasons really
I need a maintainable machine, so Apple and every ultrabook shit I'm not even considering

>>58394748

Why? Genuinely curious 15" mbp owner here.

>>58394034
I run mine at 1920*1200, seems to be the optimal balance between usable space and visibility.
Didn't notice any sharpness problems compared to 1440*900 retina.

>>58394742
Me, me, me.

Design alone made me irrationally interested in it. The lightness-fanlessness is a huge bonus too. It's basically the laptop I always wanted, pure minimalism and the basics while getting the important things like battery life/trackpad/screen right.

I never was in the market for 15" though and my decision was between 13" rMBP or rMB, I don't need the ports but the size/weight was a big benefit. I didn't mind the smaller screen either. Only downside for me is the Core M, which is, uhh "functional".

Though unlike many I really love the new keyboard since it feels a lot more direct. (Hated it at start though)

>>58394764
Needed a laptop but don't need it to be powerful

I don't consider laptops other than Apple to be worth choosing. I'm willing to pay higher prices for what I consider almost flawless machines. Every other brand of laptop always has one huge "but" either compared to Apple laptops or just in general

>>58394654
literally copypasta

Don't worry throttling has your back. It won't let you damage your processor. :^)
