Good point. I'd LOVE to see a notebook with the same resolution as the iPad but on a 15-ish inch screen. If Apple can put a display like that in a $500 device there's no reason a $1000 laptop can't be built with a similar one.

The thing I don't understand is how Apple can use a 2048x1536 9.7"
IPS "retina" display on the new iPad and no notebook manufacturer
has anything with a similar resolution (264 pixels/inch) screen.  There are
rumors about a "retina" display for a soon to be released MacBook Pro
(15" screen) but only rumors so far.  The new iPad has decent battery
life so the high res, good color, and bright screen (421 cd/m^2 measured
peak for white) can't be a total power hog.
