I highly doubt that a laptop not supporting >1080p on the monitor is considered a 'monumental deal breaker for the majority of people'.

1080p is just fine for laptops.

the screen on the Serval WS is 144hz, as well, which is much higher refresh-rate than most HiDpi displays.

I write text documents for a living. 4k at 60hz is what I need and it works perfectly from Ubuntu Mate on a Dell laptop. I'd never go back to 1080.

i write code for a living, so I'm in a similar boat. all my screens are 1080p and I don't have any problems.

my point was that this is actually not a deal breaker for most users. just a deal breaker for some users. I would venture to say they are even in the minority.

Right, we can do without a lot of nice features. For example, I could do without a modern editor, maybe get by with gedit or something similar. But I don't... the value I get from them is much greater than the money spent.

My laptop display upgrade was maybe $200 five years ago. It has payed that back in clarity (and the amount of code I can see at once) every single day since.
