But the profit motive requires that people keep buying, and that requires that computers (in all their forms) continue to improve, since they don't tend to wear out THAT quickly.Then why can't I buy a laptop with as big a display (1920x1200) as my five year old HP. Maybe because you can buy laptop with better display, like 4k resolution... http://www.toshiba.com/us/p50t And maybe because a lot of new things are done with mobile devices... there are phones that will have 4k display next year...But having twice the resolution on a smaller screen is worthless. My HP has a 17" screen and 1920x1200 is plenty of resolution for my old eyes. Going to a 15.6" screen with 3840x2160 is NOT an improvement (to say nothing having to use Windoze 8.1). If they're going to make 3840x2160 graphics they should put them on the bigger screens, not the smaller ones!?I did wonder why you wanted more resolution on a small screen - given that one selling point of laptops is their small size. I guess you were just disagreeing for the sake of it, as usual.
I wanted more resolution on a 17" screen, 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080. I wasn't disagreeing with anything except that 4K resolution on a laptop is not an improvement. You're nit picking.
