16" laptop screen at 2560 x 1600 is reasonably sharp to the point where it isn't a deal breaker, but i can still see the pixels.

i would prefer a 3840 x 2400 or even a 3840 x 2160 screen and preferably a 17 or better yet 18 inch size.

2560 x 1600 is a good screen resolution for a tablet powered by a phone SOC. it makes no sense on a computer with desktop level hardware.
