One of the senior managers at a place I worked in 2001 had a 15" 1600x1200 Dell (Inspiron 8000). Now it's nearly, if not completely impossible to find that many pixels in a comparable form factor.
Glad to see the i8k mentioned. I have one, its screen is indeed an incredible thing, and it's still working in tip top condition today. I find tech kit either breaks within weeks or lasts forever.
I still use a notebook from 2002 with 1400x1050 with an IPS screen. Ten years since, I can't find any notebook with an IPS and 4:3 (only tablets, thanks to Apple) and I'd really pay for both features on the notebook with an i5 or an i7 CPU.
I hoped increased demand after iPad's success would make IPS and 4:3 reappear on notebooks .
