145 to 135 ppi screens since fractional scaling still sucks. #131

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

Just about every 13.3" and 14" laptop has a 1920x1080 screen leading to a tight 157 to 165 ppi viewing experience. Since fractional scaling is still so new in linux, we old people are stuck squinting at tiny text, or changing the resolution to 1600x900, which leads to fuzzy interpolation.

Description of the feature

Please release 13.3" and 14" screens with a 1600x1000 or even 1680x1050 resolution.

Or double that would be fine too. 1440p at 13" is perfect for 2x.
