    800p*

    And I disagree, considering the 1080p+ displays can play low end games at higher resolution. High end games can also be downscaled to lower resolution.

    Regardless, on a ~7” display, the difference is negligible.

      Downscaling doesn’t fully solve the battery life issue; the graphics are lessened but it’s still lighting a lot of pixels. And the fact that the difference is negligible is exactly why I think it’s so great. Don’t waste hardware and software power where it will do no good.
