Hi guys,
I'm planning to buy a laptop next month so I've already started the research. One thing I've noticed is that many laptops' displays have a screen resolution of 1366x768 and it got me confused as I've never thought of this before: does the max resolution mean that I can't go above these numbers (it will not be rendered or etc.) or that I will not see a difference if I do go above?

Thanks

you wont be able to go higher, on desktop pc's you can sometimes force a bit higher refresh rate than the monitor officially reports but for resolution ... well forget about it... that's the amount of physical pixels the actual panel has... unless it's a real small laptop i would really recommend to go for something with higher resolution.... you wont even be able to enjoy 1080p videos properly on that

these days i would recommend to get as high resolution as possible - don't be shy that things will look small - remember you can change the dpi setting and make them bigger again (apart from programs that don't scale) - but you still benefit from clearer text and everything....
