If the form and all the controls are defined in pixels, the physical
size of a pixel shouldn't matter.

I have a vague memory of all sorts of problems with mismatched metrics,
especially changing the metric of a form once custom controls have been
placed on it. One more reason to always use pixels for screen display.

The mystery here is why the same form displays differently on two
machines. I wonder if there is a Windows "zoom" display setting on the
laptop, which is mucking things up.

Might be worth checking Windows Display settings on the laptop for
things like DPI or scale. Using anything other than the native
resolution and 100% scaling is opening a can of worms . . . .
