What do you mean by 2k in a laptop context? (i.e. non-ultrawide)

I think he means 2560 x 1440 (QHD), which is 16:9. 2K is just another way of referring to this resolution.

Yep, sometimes people use 2k to mean 1440p / QHD. But it's a particularly bad name for that resolution. 2K is an existing cinema spec that is much closer to 1920x1080 than anything else.
