I am not blaming. I am asking (and provoking a little :-) )..
Since I will need a new laptop for travel soon, I am doing some research before deciding what to buy. I think it will end up as a 14" model with HDMI (1920*1440) and not higher - also because I still need Win7 (what will be hopeless with very high DPI, I believe).

I don't think Xfce can offer any reasonable HiDPI support without
finishing the GTK3 port and because they suffer from lack of
contributors it reportedly may take another 2 years. And that's just
half a way there because from what I have heard it takes implementing
Wayland to bring a complete HiDPI support (coping with several monitors
with different DPIs,...). Wayland is something Xfce developers can't
even think about until they finish the GTK3 port.
It's a sad truth that small desktops are failing to cope with new
hardware, but we should not blame Linux in general.
