I haven't followed the laptop scene for a while and today I decided to take a look at what's the on the market.

What I discovered was that practically all of the laptops being sold have screen resolutions at 1600 and up, most having 1920 screens.

The problem I found was that the "Desktop" looked absolutely tiny! When I changed the scaling, it made it look messed up. Anything other than 100% scaling with Windows looks disproportionate. The text on Metro side too looked small.

So I was wondering does anybody have a problem with this situation? What can Microsoft do about this? How come Apple can release a retina screen Macbook and the windows, menus and text are the same size, except sharper, yet Windows looks either messed up or tiny at small resolutions.
