02/19/2020, 9:24 PMI need to buy a new laptop. I like the 14" form factor. I need windows. How is modern windows 10 DPI scaling? 10 years ago it was hideous. Is it any better now? Does intelliJ look decent on a 1080p 14" screen?

02/19/2020, 9:25 PMimo it’s still not great but it works well enough compared to how bad it used to be
most of the nerds I’m acquainted with are fans of various thinkpads and the dell xps line, though I don’t think there’s a 14" version of the latter

(the T440P was 6 years old. RIP.)

I don’t know of any specific caveats with the T495 myself
I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a good option for you
