Which I think vast majority of people were happy with.&lt;p&gt;Edit: Both 14&amp;quot; and 16&amp;quot; have 254 PPI, up from ~220. Apple tends to stick with same PPI for a very long time. So this is interesting. 3456-by-2234 or 3024-by-1964 is 14:9 Ratio. So somewhere in between the old 16:10 and 3:2 which is current trend of Lenovo and Surface Laptop.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>yarcob</author><text>My girlfriend bought 100€ worth of adaptors for her Macbook Air and can never find them when she needs them.&lt;p&gt;For a desktop it doesn&amp;#x27;t matter, but for a portable device that you need to carry around every extra thing that you need to carry around is just something you are going to misplace.</text></comment>
