It is ridiculous in a sense that basically only the latest Intel's IGPs can run it acceptably. There's a whole plethora of quality ranges laptops provide for various purposes, it would be incredibly silly making such an incredulous resolution "a standard".
Also, app ecosystem is not even on Macs supportive of those high res, imagine what mess would there be in Windows applications. Augh.
- Osmium 14y agoWindows is actually not too bad. I'm running Windows 8 on my Retina MBP in high-DPI mode, and it looks crisp and most apps degrade gracefully (some look absurdly small, but that's rarer). Admittedly, this isn't something that could happen today. But Intel's IGP are the low end. In a few years, they'll be everywhere. It's difficult to argue that something that requires a modern integrated graphics chip is anything too demanding, when you look at how far ahead dedicated chips are.
