I think the opposite is true--Apple's laptops actually have much lower resolutions than some other options. The 13" laptop I'm currently using (which is even lighter than an Air) has a 1600x900 resolution; if I had been willing to order online they would have upgraded it to 1920x1080 for free (but I am not a patient man and at 13" that's a bit of overkill). If Apple releases a retina screen Air, I would seriously consider getting it. If they make one about as heavy with a high resolution and a 15" screen, I'm definitely getting one unless it has a slow SSD or is really incompatible with Linux.
