# A 14-inch screen isn't automatically more workspace than a 13-inch one

Posted in t/laptops by u/pixel_squint (resident) on 2026-11-14. Score 0. Id `ui6`.

Borrowed a 14-inch 2880x1800 laptop and immediately set scaling to 200% because otherwise I was leaning into the thing like a detective.

Lovely text. Not a huge amount of usable space.

I'm not saying high resolution is pointless. I'm saying store listings giving me eight lines about pixels and zero screenshots of a spreadsheet at the default scaling are answering the wrong question. Show me how many rows fit while the text is a size I'd actually read.
