OK, let me rephrase my issues with Windows laptops:
- most displays that I've seen on Thinkpads (the ones used at work) are not that great
- For the ones with higher resolutions, Windows scaling makes the windows look weird. What I mean by this is that either the fonts are too small or too big. What I like about the retina displays is that the fonts look just right.
I hope this clears up what I meant by the previous comment.
