I was just wondering which laptops have the highest resolution screen, also if there are any mid-range laptops with resolutions greater than Full HD.
Thanks

Quite a few.
There's MacBook Pro Retina with 2880x1800 (at default settings it's just 1440x900 with much smoother texts and edges, scalable to 1680x1050 and 1920x1200, you can run 2880x1800 natively but everything becomes tiny, really tiny.)
MSI GT60 3K Edition with 15" 2880x1620 screen
HP Envy TouchSmart 14 with 3200x1800 screen
Some 13" Samsung laptop with 2560x1440 screen (I think)
And then there are older ThinkPads (and not just them, other makes too) with 1920 x 1200 and even fewer with 2048 x 1536. -
I wouldn't exactly call those mid-range laptops (well, maybe the rMBP, but it certainly isn't priced like one...). But those *are* the options for above-1080p laptop displays, though you forgot the Toshiba KIRAbook (13", 2560 x 1440).

The soon to be released Samsung Ativ Q (3200x1800) should be mentioned as well as the Asus Zenbook infinity (no release date yet).

I have a MSI GX720 from 2008/2009 I no longer use that has a 1920x1200 screen.

You won't see a lot of difference in those just as you can't tell between 720 and 1080 in these small displays. In my experience, cranking up the pixels without regard to quality is just a gimmick.
A better criteria would be a higher bit debt which is way more valuable then resolution alone. At least for those involved in media creation. For the rest of us it won't matter since anything over HD--the media limit--is inconsequential anyway. -
So, where can anyone get bigger than 1080p laptop with dedicated graphics and not Macbook Pro? -
