There was a rumor about a high density display similar to the iPhones with more than 300ppi. That would be the best and most important improvement, since OSX has to be adjusted heavily. I dont get it that we still use displays with 100-130 ppi like 10 years ago.


Is that practical, though? My eyes start to hurt from a 1680x1050 15.4 inch display, and I simply can't imagine working with a Full HD screen (maybe just for photo/video, but not for everyday work), unless it's 17+ inches in size...


The point is to double the resolution and make the display 'retina', like on the iPhone.


Why not? The letters would be the same size, just smoother.


Is that the case with Mac OS X? On Windows laptops, the text becomes smaller as the resolution is increased, and the DPI scaling sucks...
