Isn't this more resolution than what the human eye can perceive?
I honestly can't see the point of a device like this one. Photographer or not, any user will need to set up ultra-large fonts and the magnifying glass app to be able to work with it at any time. I guess they just ran out of ideas and came up with this nonsense only to get notoriety or something.

My 13" 1920x1080 (actual res) ASUS Ultrabook has a really crisp screen. It's going to be hard to differentiate resolutions better than that at that size. It's nice but text on icons can be hard to read at a distance as it is so small. It does make graphics and video look good though.

Remember, you can enlarge all displayed text in Windows by a given percentage. You can find it under Start>Control Panel>Display in Win7, and in similar locations in other versions of Windows. Right-click on an empty spot on your desktop and select "Properties..." in XP, as I recall, for the fastest route.
Edit--> I agree with you re: screen sharpness. In fact, I have a Toshiba Qosmio with an 18.4" screen (it's silly ginormous for a laptop - lol) at 1640x985 that I cannot distinguish from 1920x1080 at all. But some folks just want that placebo resolution, ya know? It's good they gave it a lot of graphics muscle; it's gonna damn well need it to drive all that screen real estate.

If you're really keen you can find out what registry entries tweek exact sizes for the elements.
I used to have to do that in XP because of a bug with the large icon sizes in hi-res.
