[citation][nom]icemunk[/nom]I like that Apple is pushing the envelope on screen resolutions, it is definetely a plus for the industry. Hopefully we'll see the other major manufacturers start using higher displays on their laptops as well, and maybe then we can start seeing sub-$1000 laptops with super-hi resolution displays.[/citation]
Intel already announced an initiative last year for higher res screens for laptops, smart phones, desktop screens and tablets. Apple just jumped the gun, but strangely their screen is significantly lower res than what Intel had on their chart for 11 - 17" screens from premium laptops for 2013.
