I really don't understand why there are so few QHD screens on laptops. It's always either a 1080p or 4k, while a good QHD screen would still give higher resolution while not completely murdering my battery.

Yeah, I've got a 4K Thinkpad, and the screen is gorgeous, but it's way overkill. QHD would have been good enough, but it was 4K or 1080p, and I do want a bit more than that.

Marketing mostly. QHD screens seem superior to 4K in a laptop form factor at this point.

For that matter I see HD as generally superior to QHD in phones and think Apple has it right.
