My contractor colleagues at ClientCo opposite me are Apple Mac fans, and are always waxing lyrical about their RMB Pro's (Retina MacBook Pro), the screen definitely is clear at 2560 x 1600.

My eyesight is fading as fast as my braincells, probably explains why the missus still looks so sexy (possibly a combination of both). 13" doesn't do it for me any more (or the missus, but that's another story), so get me a 50" and wireless keyboard.

I have a 1600 * 900 13 inch.
It was the thinnest on the market when I got it.

My current lappy is only 1366 x 768, it's a right pain trying to play Battlefield on it when I'm used to twin 30" screens
Spend the money and get the most lightweight laptop you can find, that has at least a 17" screen
And seeing as most modern cards are capable of outputting 4k, how long do we have to wait for 4k laptops ?

Both puns and opinions welcome.
