My Galaxy Nexus almost has as many pixels as this. What is going on in PC land - Apple are push display resolution, how is the Ultrabook specification not supporting a similar push. I guess Intel don't build screens so don't care. I agree, I wouldn’t buy a laptop if it had less that 1000 vertical pixels. My Galaxy Nexus almost has as many pixels as this.

I want to buy this for my travelling daughter, who uses Adobe Photoshop professionally ... presumably if she connects the laptop to her high-quality monitor, she will get appropriately high definition resolution on the monitor: so the resolution on her little screen won't matter, because she would not use it for professional grahics anyway.

Still looking for a better option. I was considering it to replace laptops in 60+ classrooms but the lower resolution kills that idea. Still looking for a better option.

I was going to order one until I saw the poor screen resolution that they threw in. They could have at least allowed people to upgrade to a higher screen resolution by paying more if they wanted a higher screen resolution. No option=loss of sale for me!

I'm simply not interested in anything with less than 1000 pixels vertically. Absolutely agreeing with everyone else so far.

Yet another case of style over substance. I seem to have a choice of only Sony or Dell for my next laptop. Spot on John. Yet another case of style over substance.
