I had to mess up for a while increasing fonts here and there, but I still have to ctrl+ pretty much everything.
How do you 13-inch-guys do your stuff?! Is it mandatory to buy an external monitor? Or is it just me and I should switch back to a 15.4 inch display? If I'm doing the math right, with the same resolution on a 15.4 display (say the standard 15'' Macbook Pro) everything it's supposed to be bigger, isn't it?
What do you think? I use my computer mainly for academic writing, latex, reading, programming, and of course web surfing. Thanks!
ahh yes
The retina displays.
I have a 15' MBP. I tried the macbook air beforehand, and found it too small (and not powerful enough for my needs). I made the same problem - the things were too small . As a result, the MBP was bought and re-outfitted with a SSD drive.
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
