    You really can’t see the irony of an article praising the “brilliant display” of the unit while simultaneously erasing what makes the display good in the first place? How is that a valid review?

          What strawman? This entire discussion started because of resolution. You’re implying “higher resolution makes the display good” and seeing “irony” in the fact that the reviewer says it’s a brilliant display. I’m asking you’re sure about that, but it seems like you know it’s not true and thus changing the goalposts 🤷

          I guess your name really is fitting.

            Plus everyone responding to you ignoring the arguably more important part:

            Out of the box, the laptop opted for the highest resolution possible, which made everything way too small for my aging eyes.

            Macs, out of the box, “just work”. Granted that this is due to rigid monopolistic content of the hardware+software integration, but however it is achieved, it does work.

            Meanwhile, people who enjoy using Arch btw Linux have to go in and tweak settings even be able to BEGIN using the machine.

            And if you do manage, people call you a troll for doing it “wrong”.

            All right then, I guess I’ll continue to prefer Macs then, especially if my work is paying.

            One day it would be nice if Linux would start to choose to work a bit better, like Macs.
