Thoughts On Current Ultrabook Display Resolution

[Lemonsquare]

Hi,

 

I'm curious as to what everyones' thoughts are on laptop, especially ultrabook, display resolutions at this point in time, roughly (and generally speaking).

 

I'm looking for a new laptop on a slow and casual basis, but I find that, especially in the 15.6" range, ultrabooks generally have something like a 1366 x 768 display resolution - which is awful, frankly, especially with a lot of the higher-end ultrabooks having discrete GPUs, to me, is a total waste. There's certainly nothing "ultra" about that. 

 

What are your thoughts surrounding this? Does it bother you? Are you indifferent? 

 

I personally wouldn't want anything lower than 900p on a 15.6" display.

1366x768 on a 15.6 display is not optimal but no that terrible. It's arround 100 ppi, close to a 23 inch 1080p monitor.

Though yo do sit closer to it.

The Samsung Series 9 15 inch has 1600x900

 

Personally I think that 13 inch laptops are the best, not too small and functional

1080p IPS should be a standard by now. 1440p should be a premium feature and more widely available. I have no idea what's taking so long for mfgs to catch on. People will obviously pay more for a better looking screen.
