Re: Dell's XPS 15 laptop out-retinas Apple MacBook Pro Some applications do not scale well to dpi changes, others do, it just depends. It's bad enough when you need to increase the dpi on a small 1080 monitor/tv, this would be worse. At least most desktop operating systems do not scale to the resolution, and a 15" 16:9 3200x1800 res is going to be very tiny by default on a clean install. I'm sure Dell did something like change the dpi, if not old folks might be pulling out the magnifying glass to read the screen.

kudos:2 | So, that (the new high DPI) could be hit or miss. That's what I'm afraid of before making decision to buy. I don't want to end up with expensive laptop that I have to use with magnifying glass. 
Past month Dell has started to sell its new Precision M4800 laptops with similar resolution screens (15.6", 3,200 x 1,800, 235 ppi) and the new IGZO technology. But how one can buy it without even see it first and they don't sell it in common stores...
