In my case, not visibly, no. My 3200x1800 scaled up 1.5 times on a
15-inch laptop display looks just great.

However, I believe this depends on the hardware you have, the scaling
algorithm for the relative resolutions you use, and of course your
eyes. :-)

In how many places you need to resize the fonts, to have everything
appear correctly? Do you use apps from both the Gnome and KDE world
simultaneously (I do)? It seems to me that setting one slider is far
easier than manually resizing a whole bunch of font sizes.

How about the scroll-bars, are they wide enough to easily point to? Do
you do any manual resizing of windows, i.e., is it easy to point to the
low-right corner of the window to engage the resizing?

I agree that the screen space is a premium on laptops, but I tend to
solve that problem by using multiple workspaces/screens (typically
eight) and having only one app in fullscreen in each. More than enough
room for everything. ;-)

HTH, :-)
