That one would actually count as a positive point for me. I tried to use a 1440 14 inch screen the other year I just couldn't cope with it, everything is too small for me. Until we have OSes with decent variable dpi support and vector graphics everywhere than we currently have bitmaps hi-res laptops are a non-starter for me.

So 1280 on a 13 inch screen sounds like absolutely the limit for me (it may even be too far), given that until last week my laptop was 1024x768 on a 14 inch. I broke my laptop last week, so there is a Dell D630 on the way with the 14 inch 1280 screen and I am worried that might be a stretch for me.

I realise that this is an atypically opinion

Can't ever see myself owning a Mac Air though, I'd prefer a Lenvo X61.
