Came here to say this. The display has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. And this “journalist” tells me, that it looks good with a configured resolution of 1920 x 1080. Tells a lot about the quality of this review.
Since this laptop uses Plasma 6 on Wayland, I’m not sure why this reviewer chose to reduce the screen resolution instead of adjusting the scaling when both settings are right next to each other.
KDE has been good with this, but I still feel like my mouse pointer gets huge or tiny in different apps and I think it’s just the fragmentation of the ecosystem and all these apps are high-dpi aware in their own way. Nothing we can blame KDE for.
I know fractional scaling is bad on Wayland but tbh I also know that many systems and gpus have issue with fractional scaling. I go with 200% and it works just fine on apple studio display.
That really grates. This person is supposed to be a technology journalist? And they’ve never heard of changing the font size?

Coming from someone who sees no problem in downscaling by 2.5 the resolution instead of changing dpi, this means absolutely nothing.
Or scaling. Gnome supports scaling for high dpi displays out of the box. I suppose KDE too.
My experience with Gnome scaling has been rather poor. I haven’t tried it in KDE.
KDE’s fractional scaling is better than GNOME’s after Plasma 6 was released, in my experience. While GNOME still requires some technical expertise to enable fractional scaling, KDE Plasma 6 supports it out of the box.

Afaik this is the normal way of doing’s it on a Mac.
