My wife has a 2011 MBP blessed with a 1280x800 screen and the Helvetica face looks pretty bad from a type point of view. It's not unreadable but the type has lost its definition completely.

Unfortunately "after yesterday", things are expensive I.e. to get our definition back, we have to shift the entire unit with an i7, 16Gb of RAM and Samsung 840 Pro and buy a new unit with similar spec, which isn't cheap because you have to buy up front rather than upgrade now.

Hmm.

(I have an X201 with same res as my daily driver and its pretty good with ClearType on windows)

You are the perfect example of the author's point, and the effectiveness of the modern Apple business model.

Well actually a bad example of their business model because they can piss off they think I'm buying another one. She's getting the innards chucked in a T420 with a 1440x900 screen and windows 8.1
