What is the reason to use the non-intuitive “rem” measurment when devices are always in pixels ?
Can we use recognizable pixels in the Configuration Styles Breakpoints... - Last Edit: 8 years 1 month ago by Patrick Toulze.

here is an article that may help clarify, at least, some of your questions.
www.futurehosting.com/blog/web-design-ba...ing-elements-in-css/
I have quoted some of the basics points below:
...Pixels are absolute but not consistent.
In practice, they aren’t the same length everywhere because different devices treat them differently, but on each device a pixel is always the same. 16px on your laptop monitor is not the same as 16px on your iPad...
...Ems have a problem. Because everything is sized relative to its parent element, the meaning of an em changes as elements are nested. ..
...Rems, root ems, are always relative to the font-size of the <html> element. It doesn’t matter how deeply nested an element is, its rem lengths will always be a proportion of the font-size of <html>...
...Rems are awesome in theory, and mostly awesome in practice. There are some cases where simple proportional scaling doesn’t work out quite right — some text gets too small or too large relative to the surrounding text...

It’s true that I can use a calculator —> quayzar.com/wordpress/pixels-to-rem-calculator/
(Note: got the REM to Pixel & Pixel to REM)
but I just want to know if I can put pixels in the input in the Configuration Styles Breakpoints ??? - Graphic Designer - Marketing -Web Sites — Trying to become a decent human being.

Thanks cdavis SOLVED
Don’t you think it’s easier to have pixels as device screen size are measure in pixels.
I guess, as you explain, rem are more acurate as pixels can be different size on different devices - Graphic Designer - Marketing -Web Sites — Trying to become a decent human being.

Thanks cdavis SOLVEDyes, I think that getting used to the idea of using REM is harder than the actuality of making the change. Once you ahve done it a bit it will be the better method.
