The new 13 laptop has a resolution that allows for 200% scale exactly!

Dang, now I want one! I already have two of the 13s (11th and 13th gen Intel), plus a new 16 with GPU (which I absolutely adore btw) though and can't possibly justify such extravagance.

Love that they're fixing the screen though. It's fine for me since I solved it the first time, but it's hard for most people at first. I just enabled "Large Text" in Gnome's accessibility menu and that gets it pretty good. If you want to really hone it in though, enable fractional scaling[1] and then tweak the scaling factor.

What I do after a fresh install (with Fedora but should work with most any new-ish Gnome):

[1]: `gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"`

You can buy just the screen :)
