Razer Stealth: 2560x1440 on a 12.5" monitor?

On the Razer Stealth, I'm confused about the 2560x1440 resolution on a small 12.5" screen -- using native resolution, wouldn't that make everything very small on the screen? One must then use Windows scaling, which is awful.

windows scaling on 8.1 and 10 are just fine. There is no such thing as native resolution when it comes to your font sizes vs pixels, windows uses an automated scaling setting even on 1080p screens. That does not mean it is overkill... those screens are a gimmick.

Thanks for the response. You're the first I've heard say there is no such thing as native resolution and the first I've heard say that the automated scaling in Windows for a high-resolution small screen is anything less than a suckfest -- a lot programs don't behave. Adobe, MS Word...

Night, that is %100 the fault of the program. The interfaces aren't designed or tested with such small screen. It has nothing to do with resolution and everything to do with screen real estate in real dimensions.

Wouldn't everything work better with a 1920x1080 resolution on a 12.5" screen? What is the purpose of 2560x1440?

things are more crisp and defined, look at flagship phones, they are reaching the same resolutions of 1440p while budget smartphones are still at 1080p mostly. Is 1440p needed? not AT ALL, but it does have a use.
