Say, Google, save Chromebook from Intel while you still can. PC manufacturers' priorities baffle me. For years I bitched about OEMs shipping laptops with low-resolution screens -- even Apple. Sony is, or was, the exception but offering the feature for a price premium. My first 13.3-inch notebook with HD resolution (1600 by 900) was a VAIO. In 2006! Apple only followed the Japanese company six years later.
The screen is the gateway to your computer, so why do so many OEMs ship cheap displays? Yesterday's Intel-Google event was an eye opener, or perhaps eye-strainer for anyone looking for Chromebooks with better screens. You're Doing It Wrong Listening to Navin Shenoy, general manager of Intel's mobile group, I kept thinking: "The priorities are all wrong". "When any person uses a computer of any sort, the primary interface where understanding takes place is the display", Kelsey Tidwell says in response to my Google+ post asking for response about Chromebook screens.
