I'm fine with my 15.6" 1080p screen. The reasons I'm not considering this laptop is the lack of 3 physical buttons on the touchpad. It's Linux after all. Left select text, middle paste, no need of ctrl-c and ctrl-v. It's much faster and I'm using it all the time. Btw, I disable touch to click because it tends to move the pointer and generate misclicks.
I'm with you on the lack of physical buttons. That's a no go.
For me the lack of pointing stick is also a no go. My first laptop over twenty years ago was a Toshiba with a pointing stick, and I've used Thinkpads ever since.
