That 1080p screen would be hard to get used to after working on crisp MBP screens. Especially when staring at text all day.

The rest of the laptop does look great for the price.

It takes a day or 2 and you are used to the lower resolution again. It's not that the visible pixels would hinder readability. It's all psychological: Those who feel that nice looking fonts are important will be hard to convince. Probably also a status symbol for some. I prefer longer battery life and generally hate products and vendors wasting resources. I got HiDPI on my work laptop, but would switch back to a lower resolution any day. Use it regularly in other setups.

AFAIK there are/were some 1440p versions available in the US. I'm from Europe so I didn't see them.
