I really like Dell Precision M3800 laptop, but reading about the issues with scaling on different softwares are deterring me form that choice.
What is your expreience? I really like that laptop but if it does Revit does not look good on it than I am gonna go for something else. If so, what are the alternatives?

Try the HP Workstation Zbook 17, i have one and is fantastic
Thanks for your input Kyle. Do you have the 15.6” FHD 1920x1080 one? People have been reporting issues with icons being too small and others. Have those been resolved in Revit 2015? Can you comment on other design software: Autocad, Rhino, Sketchup etc What about Adobe CS? Thanks!
The native panel resolution is insane (3200 x 1800), and I found that adjusting Windows' DPI setting couldn't deliver the desired actual display size of UI elements without moving outside of the "normal bounds" of the DPI spectrum. So, I can confirm that you'll find some weirdness if you run the max panel resolution + set a high DPI.
I just stepped the resolution to 20148 x 1152, set the DPI to 125%, and have been perfectly happy with it. I haven't found any major apps to misbehave at 125% DPI.

I have 17'' with 1920x1080
Think that resolution would be fine. I don't find that I need a super-high resolution screen + high OS DPI/ I'm perfectly satisfied with the 2048x1152 + 125% DPI. My screen cap below.

It is probably to look good, its enough this resolution
That post alludes to exactly what I was referring to as well -> Running the display at native panel resolution, while adjusting the DPI to make things not comically small, results in weirdness across many apps, since many apps are not tested on DPI settings over 150%. Running at the second highest panel resolution + 125% DPI does the trick for me without any weirdness across major productivity apps.

Thanks Kyle, your responses are very informative. Now, by no weirdness, do you mean that what you see on the screen is not stretched either? I want to make sure that the images I produce or manipulate will be displayed at other screens with no change in aspect, scale, or quality.
Yes, the resolution I run matches the aspect ratio of the panel, so WYSIWYG.
