Lower DPI is quite okay with good font rendering (FreeType, slight hinting, subpixel rendering). I have both kinds of devices.

I get kind of nostalgic when I see Verdana on 1024x768 in winxp/2k.

ClearType was/is a nifty technology. I remember I had a HP Jornada PocketPC that came preloaded with The Time Machine to show off ClearType.

I sometimes wish I’d never seen a Retina display. There’s no going back for me now.
