![]() ![]() Due to the M1 laptops being poorly suited to my workflows, I have now changed back and am on a Linux powered Dell Precision laptop and am overall happy with the decision - though I had to compromise on a few things. I used PCs for decades before transitioning to Mac based laptops for work which I continued to use for the last 6 years. What issue did you have pairing a Bluetooth keyboard in Windows 11? I've done that and had no issues even with ones that want me to enter a pairing code. They also for some mind boggling reason don't support volume control over HDMI/DP with most monitors which is infuriating.Īnd the fact you need to spend $2000+ to get a laptop from them that can handle 2+ external monitors is NUTS. And sometimes you have to use a 3rd party app to even enable Apple's HiDPI support on some displays because for whatever reason Apple hasn't blessed it.Īpple also removed sub-pixel rendering in 10.14 so on non-HiDPI displays text looks particularly bad compared to Windows or Linux. Windows does fractional scaling correctly, a straight line is a straight line, fonts are sharper and rendering 4K is always rendering 4K and not 5K taxing a crappy GPU. It's not as big of a problem anymore but on lower end Intel Mac GPUs like the 2018 Mac Mini scaling a 4K display to "Look like 1440p" takes more than the GPU can really muster and animations lag horribly and drop frames all over the place. To have it look really good you need a ~200ish PPI display which at 27" means 5K and all the added expense of that. For HiDPI because of the way Apple handles it something like a 27" 4K display (really the sweet spot of sharpness and price right now) will either have to be run at "Looks like 1080p" (which is huge at 27"), tiny native 4K or some non-integer scale leading to overall blurriness and problems from that (different thickness lines).
