1920x1200 planned for 15"?

[WildPalms]

i don't think it is coming to the 15" EVER.

i had a compaq laptop (x1000, a thin fast laptop) with 1920x1200 in a 15" screen.

it was legible only if you were directly in front of the laptop and i'm in my late 20's. so if you plan on using a stand (icurve or whatever) and using an external keyboard, be prepared to squint.

also, before apple would jump to 1920x1200, it would make a separate jump to 1680x1080 in the 15"

the 15" started as 1280x800 then got an upgrade to 1440x960
the 17" started as 1440x960 then got an upgrade to 1680x1080, and only just now had the option of 1920x1200.

apple will likely look at sales of the 1920x1200 17" and decide carefully whether or not to offer the option of 1680x1080 on the 15"

I just don't think thaqt 1920x1200 is a mass market resolution, and apple would have to start with a 1680x1080

(ps - i know my pixel count for the vertical is probably inaccurate, but that is because adding the isight into the laptops changes the number of pixels vertically relative to previous isight-free laptops and pc laptops)

Very well summed up. 1920 x 1200 on a 15" is just silly. Especially at my age...not like I'll see those pixels

you could always have some warranty voiding fun: take the 1920x1080 from your dell and put it in your MBP.

other things like this have been done, of course you would be losing the advantages of the LED backlight.

Haha, I was waiting for this post to come along

I too would like the OPTION of going to that high of a resolution.

And you continue to troll.

Do you need me to list the sixteen other threads with people saying "WUXGA is tiny."?

There are some of us who are tired of hearing about it. And I honestly don't care if you discount my "opinion" in the future. I contribute to these forums with facts and experience, not speculation and whining.

At this point I'm happy to continue "whining" and "trolling" just to piss you off. Sorry, can't help but prod the jerk.

It is a matter of business sense rather than technology.

Apple gets new buyers with a few upgrades: LED, frequency (maybe), and video card.

They can save a higher res screen for when there is nothing else to upgrade--they start with the higher margin 17" machine to prevent it from undermining sales on their lower margin machines.

You will see a bump to 1600x1080 before 1920x1200 becomes an option by the same logic.

I fear this was why the 12" was killed. It undermined 15" sales due to DVI and vid card.

I miss the 12"....
