I can't make any sense of this? Laptops have been around since the early 90s and have always used LCD screens - what else? Anything with a CRT wouldn't fit on your lap. Jeff Goldblum even used one to repel an alien invasion in 1996.
- hjnilsson 6y agoSorry. I meant high resolution screens. There were hardly any “retina” laptops (and no desktop screens) when apple started introducing theirs in 2012.
- FireBeyond 6y agoThis is wrong. Dell had a 2560x1600 LCD in 2007. https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-ultrasharp-3007wfp/specs/ https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-ultrasharp-3007wfp/specs/ https://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/general/ultrasharp%203007wfp-hc_en.pdf https://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/general/ultrasharp%20300... Dell and Sony also had laptops going as high as 4K in 13" form factors around the same time. Yes they were high end. So too was the MBP.
- fomine3 6y agoThat's correct but Apple shows that software support for HiDPI is also important, compared to Windows/Linux.
