I'm sorry, you were talking about resolution, not screen size. So what ? 4k screen are new in laptop (and anywhere else), but you can buy a 60" TV 4k screen, if you want... 17" 4k laptops are due to arrive this year, if they're not already there... those laptops have not only better screen than your old HP, they are way more powerful... So what's your point ? Innovation and better PC and better GPU and better screen are still done... Your old HP cannot make latest games for example running with full details at the screen resolution it offers... latest high end laptop can... you don't play ? What exists doesn't please you ? You don't play games ? fine, keep your old HP but don't pretend they don't exists, they do.
