Sony does not have any notebook with the high density display of Apple's, or the one Google is trying. 1080p is not a synonym of a high density (PPI) display.
>1080p is not a synonym of a high density (PPI) display. Not on a 24" screen, but 11" at 1080p is pretty much there.
- Laptops with ssds start at 6000 nok (1057 USD).
- Laptops with IPS screen start at 6000 nok (1057 USD).
- Small screen (11.7") laptop with IPS & full hd (189 dpi) & SSD starts at 9795 nok (1718 usd).
- Macbook retina 13" starts at 11490 nok (2015 usd).
A year ago there were hardly any laptops with IPS screens or cheap laptops with SSDs. A lot has changed. I still love my retina macbook pro 15".

1080p: 1920x1080 (assuming 16:9)
Really can't compare. I do not mean I have seen all, but no display I have seen (on notebooks) gets near Apple's "retina display." None. Google is trying with the Pixel.
Most people are fine with their 24inch display sporting 1920x1200 resolution but then suddenly on a 13" notebook or even a smartphone 1080p isnt enough ? Its ridiculous!
I have used a Macbook Retina and to me it was not much of a revelation. Yep, the display is nice, text is super sharp and everything is crystal clear but i didnt have the feeling that i would absolutely need this, and i would consider myself a hardware geek and pro user.

1080p at 11" is still low density when you consider all the 4-5" smartphones that have 1080p displays.
To assert that, from a business perspective, that the "puck" that Google (or Apple) worry about is ludicrous. These two companies do not even compete on the same rink. Their competition is asymmetric. Apple's profits come from 'high margins at retail, paid up front'. Google's profits come from 'the consumer is the product, the advertiser is the customer'.
It is fun to try to compare the micro-actions of these companies, but it is not business or strategy analysis.
I mean 125% on Windows has now essentially become a requirement to use Windows on any monitor made in the last few years, and we're almost up to the point where 150% is required. However the problem is that 150% seems to break MANY Windows applications (both third and first party).
I'm really hopefully that when displays become just slightly higher resolution we will see some third party software which can "scale" Windows up so that it works the same as Retina displays on the Macbooks do (i.e. real resolution and relative resolution aren't locked together).
How did this end with so many votes? It has nothing to do with the puck, but with money. Pay up and they'll add a 42 inch screen to your Windows 8 laptop, battery hour 36 seconds :). They are many tradeoffs, that's all.
I use an old MBP that I'd like to replace soon, but there's no way I can get the Pixel - it just doesn't do stuff . I think Chrome OS needs a great virtualization solution - just how chrome handles PDFs and Flash fairly well. I want to be able to open a "windows" tab or an "ubuntu" tab, use them normally.
unless you want Google to host the VMs as well. That could be interesting.
