    Hi guys,

    in anticipation of recieving my own Razer Blade 2014 I stumbled upon a really good Windows DPI Scaling Guide.

    I knew about about alot of this stuff already so I'm not worried. But anyone using a high DPI display in windows benefits from reading this, especially if your prefered browser is Chrome.
    In page three is a guide on how to take full adantage of the native resolution with DPI scaling so you would get super crisp text, but still good element scaling.

    It doesn't scale menu text. Pinch zoom is adequate for everything else. if you've got a long lenghty toolbar populated with link folders, it gets annoying REALLY quickly.


    As the owner of an MS SP2, I can tell you Windows display scaling and higher resolution screens in small form factors make for a very frustrating and headachy experience.
