980px is annoying. I for example use at night as my "laptop" a cheap tablet with keyboard, it is 800px wide. Also 980px also will suck for people with VEEEERY

  > Or apple retina (that has absurd resolution, thus resulting in their site becoming very small and unreadable). Websites on a HiDPI display are effectively pixel doubled, the viewing side is the same. The same happens with the iPhone 4 and later.

  It also sucks if you don't use a maximised browser window.

    Exactly! I normally run two browser windows side by side on a 1600px wide screen. I generally don't go back to sites that force me to resize my browser in order to view them correctly.

    I don't have a retina device (although my startup does have a iPad3 that we use for testing). Also, I avoid visiting Apple site (I never liked it, I never find what I want on it).

      Erm, I replied to a link that got deleted, and now I get a couple of -1 :( That is bad.

  it's annoying size for me as my (and many many others) screen is 1920 pixels wide, and i often have two windows taking up half the screen, 980px means i get horizontal scrollbars popup

  the whole point here is that they are optimizing for the vast majority. unfortunately you, with your part-time 800px tablet, are part of the 2%. their focus on such an overwhelming majority of users makes a ton of sense from a business perspective. (sidenote: does anyone with a VEEEERY WIIIIDE monitor maximize windows?)
