1024x768 is still the best window-size for browsing (and most other tasks as well) in my opinion. Don't get any silly ideas of designing a web page for wider than 1024 pixels (the only thing I miss out today is in the "worst" case ads).

I'd assume it's so we can know how to target desktop oriented sites.

It all depends on the target market - for example if you are making a site for gamers, you should look at the Steam HW survey, where 1920x1080 is used by 25% of people. 1366x768 is a distant second with 15%. Source: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

I'm not surprised. Only the "high end" laptops have a resolution that's not 1366x768 in Romania.

I used to have a 14" Dell with a 1600×1200 resolution back in 2008. But in 2012 you really have to pay extra for something like that.

15.6 inch and 1366x768 is just incredible considering the 4 inch iPhone is 960x640 nowadays.

well the 13 inch macbook pro is the most popular apple laptop and netbooks/ultrabooks seem more popular than 17 inch behemoths so I guess somewhere around 13 inches is right
