High resolution laptops, Windows 10 and Maya..

Flynny

Recently decided I'd upgrade from a 3 yr old small 13" Sony laptop to an even smaller 13" ultrabook (hp envy 13"). Its stupidly better except for the fact Maya is now for ants only on the 2k display. 

Has anyone else encountered this, any solutions, or shall I just accept fate and return the laptop?

For the record I've changed the resolution down to 1080p which brings it back to normal but everything is obviously super blurry =/
Also tried the built-in dpi windows system scale from 100% to 200% which Maya ignores =/

Any thoughts or ideal replacement laptops, does this happen on Retina 13" macbooks as that would be the next thing to look at..

Gar so angry =/

What version of Maya?

iirc 2016 was the first one to start supporting HDPI displays.

2012 currently, damn.

Use it in dual monitor mode. You can hook your laptop up to any sized extra monitor, unless there is no out on your machine. Hp shouldnt be a problem though.

Yeah seems to work that way, pretty much a waste of a screen by this point.

I'll be sending it back for a refund, does anyone have any recommendations for a good all round 13" dev laptop, not ultrabook?
