+1 Screen resolution is the top reason I stick with Macs. Once you gone retina, there's no going back and modern cellphones only reinforce this. It could be my aging eyesight, but I don't remember the last time I saw a pixel.

Gamer laptops have the resolution but the price & weight are silly.

Would love to be wrong - macos just feels klunky for linux development (slow homebrew, annoying docker, constant reminders to connect to apple cloud, etc).



Isn't retina just strictly worse? No oled, lower resolution, lower ppi, lower brightness, worse aspect ratio? They are decent screens, but by no measure the best.


i used retina and now am back to 1920x1080 on my t480. no problem.
