Every laptop display should be 2560x1600, dreams Linus Torvalds

1> By the time a laptop is released with what I want, the price will come down.
2> Battery life should be around 2-3 hours which is roughly what I currently get, it is a desktop replacement afterall. Current technology allows a quad core in a pad device to last 8 hours or more, so 16 cores should be possible with any luck in the coming years, how long before it appears is anyones guess?
3> I will give you that, I simply call them cores because that is how they show up in my status, as cores.

The big problem I have with my quad core hyperthreaded (see 8 cores is even shorter to type) machine is not running out of memory, but running out of "cores" to assign to virtual machines.

It sounds like you need a dual socket Xeon my friend not a laptop!

100% satisfied with 1080p HDTVs. Most HDTV channels use 720p or 1080i as 1080p is too much to stream. While having higher resolution screens isn't something I oppose, can we at least face that we aren't even utilizing the current HD standard? Do we really all have to go buy new screens because some knuckle head suggests 1080p isn't enough?

Google made his dream come true with newly announced Nexus 10 tablet.

I gamed on 2048x1536 at 85hz in WoW a little over 5 years ago using my Eizo CRT monitor.
I agree with Torvalds, it's very sad that the market has stagnated.
In many regards we had better monitors 10 years ago than we do now

I'm with you. I sure miss those $1500-2000 price tags for a 30kg screen that sucks through the juice at 130+ watts/hour

Well I bought it second hand for maybe $200
The Eizo S2000 LCD cost me around $700 new though
What I meant by that the market has stagnated is that TN panel monitors are churned out like crazy, with really poor resolution to boot.
I think the biggest issue is all the shitty panels being manufactured, not the resolution they use.

It sure was a very nice experience, sadly the monitor died; my replacement was a Eizo S2000 LCD that I use to this day, it's a 4:3 display with 1600x1200 in resolution.

Quite a few years ago I was a regular visitor to Photokina in Cologne. I remember the days when High resolution monitors from Eizo, Barco and even Nokia ruled the professional market. They were very expensive though.
