Hi! I'm running on a late 2014 Retina MacBook Pro 13" which is a 2560x1600 display (I think). When you go into System Preferences on the display options the "Default for Display" is said to "look like 1280x800".
I have QuickRes which is a piece of software that lets you change your resolution to just about any you want so I changed it to 1280x800 and it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically I want to know if keeping the resolution lowered to this would make day-to-day tasks less CPU demanding and give me more battery life? If it would make a significant difference I'd get used to the uglier resolution but if it wouldn't affect it that much I'd go back to retina lol
Thanks for any replies!
