Software support for hidpi outside of OS X/macOS isn't great. If you can test it out on an existing computer before buying a new one I'd recommend doing that just to be sure that's what you want. Otherwise 1080p would probably be bearable on a 15" screen I would imagine.

I've got a colleague who had the P50 4k display, who said the only annoying part at the time was that moving Chrome or IntelliJ from a lowdpi to highdpi display meant you had to relaunch those processes (and this was some time ago). While I agree this is annoying, Fedora 25 launches this month with Wayland, which is supposed to fix these issues.
