I 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?

imo 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

I'd actually probably be replacing a Thinkpad T440P with a T495
(the T440P was 6 years old. RIP.)

such is life lol
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

at this point I really just wish that new AMD chip would make its way into laptops... i dont want to buy an (effectively) 3 year old intel cpu. I want one of these 8 core renoir monstrosities.

Wait a bit and get the Asus g14...
Wish it has two memory slots though.

I am actually still waiting for this. Specifically I think im gonna get the Lenovo T14 but the asus zepherus has me wondering. I like the nub mice on laptops.
