WUXGA Laptops

I just had the depressing realization that Apple might be the only manufacture to offer WUXGA screens for laptops in a year or two.

Not sure what sort of "professionals" the other laptop manufacturers are try to sell to, but as far as I can tell, resolution is the only thing that matters now days (slightly tongue-in-cheek - a solid state drive will give a good boost - but only slightly).

It is downright depressing when projected tablets pack 2560x1600 into 10", yet the highest resolution one can get on mainstream 17" laptops is 1600x900.

Update: a very encouraging counter example has been found! The Sony VAIO Z offers fully 1080p in a 13" form-factor. If only the base model didn't cost $2000+
