Yeah, now. Thanks to Apple's start of the high DPI push and 4k/5k displays.
For a long time, we suffered from what I'll call "The Great Laptop Display Regression of 2008". For many years, you simply could NOT buy a non-Apple laptop with more than 1080 pixels in the vertical direction. It didn't matter how big of a screen you got, and it didn't matter how much you were willing to pay for it. No one dared even give you the option.
- mark-r 9y agoFor a while it was nearly impossible to find a reasonably priced laptop with anything other than 1366x768.
- scarface74 9y agoThis. I still have what I believe is one of the last great laptops with a 1920x1200 display. It's a 15 inch Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz Dell with gigabit Ethernet from around 2008-2009. It's not my primary driver. It's used as a Plex Server running Windows 10. I'll occasionally use it for browsing when I am working from home using my work laptop on the VPN. I usually have a two monitor setup, but my next personal computer will be a 27 inch 5K iMac. I want to be able to use one monitor with an IDE on one half and the browser on the other half.
