    I was excited about the UH572 until I read it has the CRAP low(useless)-resolution 1366x768 "display screen."

    It is frustrating that most Ultrabooks don't at least have an "option" for a display with a higher resolution like 1600x900 or 1920x1080.

    Ultrabooks are supposed to be "premium" products but most don't offer premium screens.

    Er, my 13.3" laptop has a resolution of 1280x800. If I put my face less than an inch from the screen, yeah, I can make out pixels and tell the resolution is low. But normally, it's so fine (dpi is something over 100) that I don't notice. I don't even know how anyone could notice. It's a finer resolution per inch than my desktop's 21" 1680x1050, and most 1080p television/desktop displays.

    the cry for higher res aint solely on the dpi, its because we can see a lot more content on it.

    About time Fujitsu came out with new laptops. They have never really gotten more popular over the years though.

    Yeah, they were decent. I had an E series Fujitsu in 2006-ish, even did an NBR review for it. pretty solid notebook, just a bit pricey for what you got.

    how many ultrabooks are there with higher resolutions?
    off the top of my head.. the Asus has the 1080p res, the LG has the 900p and maybe another Asus model.. any more?
