Actually, PC notebooks are available with 1600x1200 displays.  The Inspiron 8100
is available with a 1600x1200 display and either a GeForce2Go with either 16MB
or 32MB of DDR RAM or an ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 with 64MB of DDR RAM.

Apple does have some neat products, but after the way they screwed the IIfx and
A/UX owners I dropped them and swore I'd never buy another Mac.
