My main issue is that 8 years ago, 1920x1200 was a good resolution for
a desktop
In that time, computers have improved immensely in nearly all respects,
except
for screen size which seems to have gone backwards.
By now, 1920x1200 should be the bog standard, and higher resolutions
(such as
the Chromebook Pixel) should be at the expensive end. Despite the
increase in
resolution of phones and tablets, desktop/laptop resolutions have got
worse.
In regard's to Alan's comment - I've never used Facebook, but assuming
that it's
similar to Google+, high resolution is definitely useful when viewing
photo
albums.
