Why Torvalds loves the Chromebook Pixel: It's all about the display
- sebbi 14y agoHell, even my 10 inch tablet has a 2560x1600 resolution and Japan Display displayed a 7 inch panel with that resolution in November 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yGsWT9wfck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yGsWT9wfck). Why do we still have 13 inch laptops with 1280x800 or desktop monitors with 23+ inches with only FullHD when a $400 tablet can have this kind of screen?
- ChuckMcM 14y agoThis is a good example of marketing folks "getting it wrong" for power users. Having had conversations with people who were responsible for the requirements spec on tablet/ereader type devices and listening to them explain to me that while a 250+ppi screen looked great, it wasn't the "lighthouse" feature that would justify the sales price. I suspect a bunch of people don't care. But I certainly do. It remains to be seen if we're a market worth pursuing though.
