No. I specifically buy laptops with 1080p displays and avoid hidpi if possible due to compatibility with various apps, as well as power consumption/battery life issues. I have a hidpi MacBook for work and a 1080p System76 machine for personal use, and I vastly prefer the System76 machine.

I accept that others see it differently, but I have this lingering suspicion that the whole hidpi movement is mostly marketing. Most folks simply don't need it, or even really benefit from it, as far as I've been able to tell.
