I have no issue with the resolution of the screen myself - it is a 14” screen, which is great for portability (more usable in a car/train/bus ride, less obtrusive in a coffee shop, etc) and 1080p is about right for that size.
My only major issue is with the viewing angles of the screen. They aren’t great, and a MacBook Pro puts it to shame. That said, it’s nothing I notice when working in front of it normally.
For reference, my priorities when buying it were to have a good out of the box experience on Linux, a keyboard that was compact but with home and end keys, a “clickable” track pad similar to the MacBook’s, and finally to support a solid effort to bring a proper Linux laptop (with a proper super key instead of a Windows key) to market, and on all fronts I’m very happy with the Dev One.
My prior experience with a couple of Dells (including their XPS 13 Developer Edition with Ubuntu) were not nearly as nice (especially on the keyboard and trackpad fronts).
That said, others in the thread have other recommendations, so I will only offer one other anecdote in my recent Linux laptop trials - I have been WAY happier with AMD-based PCs than with Intel. Several distros (including Debian based and Arch based) required constant tinkering with Intel drivers and settings to combat weird stutters, while the AMD Dev One as well as a recent Beelink mini PC I picked up, have each run everything Linux without issue.
The MacBook Pro is still my gold standard in terms of hardware quality, but the Dev One is still very comfortable to work on daily.
