My $300 laptop has 1920 x 1080.
Great for video etc but awful for running normal software on, what a crazy situation.
The result is everything looks so tiny on the menus on 90% of the programs in use.
I often have to go into the desktop settings and tell my machine to use a lower resolution :-(
I think the manufacturers are forgetting that PC's are work tools, and are NOT ll about
games and movies !

======================================
I think that a great majority of the devices sold today (at least the lower-cost ones) have 1920 x 1080 displays, so it's a sensible standard for which to design. I still have some 1280 x 1024, one 1280 x 768, and two 1600 x 1200 (I prefer the greater number of lines for programming and spreadsheets).
My Linx tablet with its 1920 x 1080 x 250 mm display is "challenging" to read, but does run some SDR software well.
(Next challenge is 4/5K displays...)
