Sources in the upstream supply chain
told DigiTimes that Apple intends to launch a new MacBook Pro lineup with a display resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels in the second quarter of 2012!
While the prevailing MacBook models have displays with resolutions ranging from 1680 by 1050 to 1280 by 800, the ultra-high resolution for the new MacBook Pro will further differentiate Apple's products from other brands, commented the sources.
Moving with the market demand for displays with high resolutions, Acer and Asustek Computer also plan to launch high-end Ultrabook models with a display resolution of 1920 by 1080 in the first half of 2012, compared to the 1366 by 768 displays adopted by vendors currently, said the sources.
Sounds like good news for Windows laptops as well, hopefully Apple's move towards very high resolution screens will encourage laptop makers to stop using piss poor 1366 x 768 screens.
