Match countThe count uses the current product-to-need assignments for “One USB-C cable for video and peripherals”, “Enough power delivery for a work laptop”, and “Thunderbolt for a fuller desk connection”. A need with no documented match does not count.
Calculation notePixel density is calculated from the published diagonal and native pixel dimensions, then rounded to the nearest whole pixel per inch. Operating-system scaling still determines effective text size. The median covers 44 of 50 models with comparable published figures.
