My phones resolution is 2560x1440, my highest res monitor is 2560x1600 and 2d is 2d whether it's on a phone or computer
But you are probably not pushing that same amount of data to your phone screen as your computer screen. One app on your phone screen takes up the entire screen, so the phone GPU has to only draw for that data stream.
On a computer screen, you can have multiple windows, so you have multiple applications pushing their data through the GPU, so higher GPU load.

I personally just want to take a raspberry pi and desolder all the big connectors and stick it on the back of a touchscreen. There are plenty of distros available and I can easily compile what else I need.

I use my Pi way more than my desktop--I'd throw it in storage but it makes a good monitor stand. I may use the Pi more than my laptop once I get something like: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2109 then I want to use this old Iomega Zip 100 and gut and cut it for a case.

That is an interesting idea. Post some pics when you have it done, would like to see that.
Keep up the good work. That is how innovation keeps progressing, people trying new things.
The iomega brings back nightmares. Local college required students to use those so every PC shop in town had to sell them and put up with the constant calls of students complaining about loosing their data.
Anyway. I'm trying to learn OpenScad now so I can start designing and 3d printing a case.
I won't be getting that screen for sometime but just easily opened the drive and took the guts out (cool motor,) the case is great for recycling as DIY projects. Has a little window, two led ports and rubber pads to stand on it's side (movie night) or flat.
Old routers would be good to.

Yep, I remember that quite well. Never trusted those Zip disks, especially the 250MB ones, so kept a second hard drive installed just for archiving stuff. Now I bet you can't even FIND Zip drive disks. LOL
It's kinda funny (I feel lucky somehow now because) I never actually used one. I picked the drive up at a thrift store, way back in the day, just incase I ever needed to read one and never did... so, if someone comes to me in the next few years and says "we need to read one of these" where did I put those parts?

I took lots of calls from angry customers. "You sold it to me and now I I can't turn in my assignment" We only sold them because people specifically asked for them but it was our fault they lost their work and wanted to yell at me for it.
I was going to start a somewhat related project with a Raspberry Pi zero but since those don't seem to exist I'm looking for something else now. Looking for small size with few ports to desolder.
