The 1920x1280 Nook HD+ is now available for $149. I checked NewEgg and only 7 laptops met that resolution, and 5 of them are from Apple - the cheapest is $1399.

The 1920x1280 Nook HD+ is now available for $149. I checked NewEgg and only 7 laptops met that resolution, and 5 of them are from Apple - the cheapest is $1399. The problem here is Microsoft, not Intel. They never figured out a way to make sure that things looked consistently good on a high resolution display. When the OEMs all decided to piggyback on the TV industry and declared 1920x1080 was "high end", that nailed the coffin.
