Comment Ruin your eyes.... (Score 1) 661
Human eyes either can't see that many pixels crammed onto such a tiny screen, or will eventually ruin their eyesight trying. A smart vendor avoids the inevitable lawsuits.
I used a 1920x1200 15" laptop for a while, and found it unusable long term, especially with Windows. X-windows was doable. Apple has a long history of deciding what the ergonomically correct resolution is for a display size and sticking with it. 13" was 640x480. 16" was 832x624, etc. All of Apple's CRT monitors were fixed resolution with the same display DPI. Even retina displays are only used to make the ergonomic resolution "look better".
