Non-hiDPI display in 2022 is a non-starter. There’s simply not enough pixels to display text correctly with full hd.
I assure you it's enough to display text correctly in 1080p on 15" which is not considered hidpi. You may like hidpi, and that's fine. But let's keep shifting personal standards and what's practically usable straight.
I'm not a fan of having my laptop maker's logo plastered on the exterior of my laptop but it is unavoidable these days. The System76 logo on this laptop is an especially egregious example of this. It alone would prevent me from considering purchasing one. I'll be looking elsewhere next year when I am due to upgrade which is unfortunate because I am a fan of Pop!_OS and would otherwise have considered System76. Edit:…
Put a black sticker over it and call it a day?

I think this is a personal preference rather than a 'it just can not do it' situation. Been programming for decades on 1080p and before 1080 on 1024. My eyesight is quite bad (-5.85) and i can see perfectly fine on 1080p. Sure 2k or 4k might be better. But thats true for 8k as well.
1080p -> 4K is an enormous difference. 4K -> 8K, better but not so dramatic.
The rate of improvement is not linear.

I vaguely think my cheap college laptop display around 2006 was 1080 lines tall. How can it possibly be that some manufacturers haven't moved on since then?
Cheap 2006 laptop? Would have been 768p at best, maybe even 600p. Even Apple would happily sell you an 800p macbook ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_(2006%E2%80%932012) ) until 2012 and laptop GPUs of the era would struggle with a 1080p desktop.

It may be difficult to consider such a laptop after using one with a better screen though. I think that’s his point.

I question the judgement of the designers when I see such a large logo. Makes me hesitant about the overall quality. It looks cheap.
In this view, it should therefore not be a hint about the overall quality.
