    m11x's 1366x768 resolution makes the font seems so tired to read，its too small
    i change the DPI from 100 to 125, fonts are larger, but some apps dont
    display well，
    is there any solution？

    In some applications, such as browsers, you can zoom in and out with with CTRL +/-. Most others have some means of zooming.

    You can also change the default size of text and gui elements here:

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

    thanks,guys
    that's what i did, 100% to 125%, change the default size .
    some apps dont adapt the larger DPI, maybe in the future they will.
    i know thats not a problem, its just not perfect.
    i think i'll get a larger lcd.

    If you don't mind pressing hot keys,you can press "win"+"+" or "win"+"-" to zoom in/out on the screen,it's similar to macosx's zooming,and this should solve your problem.

    This only works on win 7!
