All in all: virtually no advantage for 2 consequent disadvantages :evil:
Raising the dpi only increases the size of system text - everything else remains the same. My biggest concern is the screen height resolution more than anything else. I can (and have) lived with 800x600 on a 5" screen, 800x480 is IMHO a bit too restrictive - gimme 1024x600 and I'll be happy :wink:
