Question. There are several mentions of $gigantic_resolution either providing the same or less display area than $smaller_resolution.
Are there any hacks that can convince macOS (or the older versions of OS X described in this article) not to treat the display as HiDPI? Yeah, I realize the machine will abruptly feel like it needs a magnifying glass to use, but in a pinch (laptop on lap <2ft from eyes) it might work for some (insert standard disclaimers here about eyes being non-replaceable and needing to last the distance).
Also.
The late-2015 21″ iMac is ~$1.5k+, and "has a multi-core Geekbench score of 5623."
Then the late-2011 17″ MacBook Pro which is ~$1.3k checks in with a "9240 Geekbench score".

Is there some datapoint I'm missing here?
