I'm betting on 1440x960 for the next PB screen update. Not too big, not too small, not too big. Will need more video memory (and 7500M or Nv17) to keep decent performance though.
"The resolution of the new PowerBook must be 1536x1024 because of the 3:2 aspect ratio. Changing it would either mean changing the casing or stretching pixels, neither of which Apple wants to do right now. (1600x1024 is a 16:10 aspect ratio.) Although Apple could increase the width and make room for a different slot loading drive, battery, etc., this idea was cut down because the PowerBook's current footprint is already quite wide."

Are you meader? Don't believe the BULLSH!T you read at MOSR. 1440x960, 1532x1024, 1620x1080 are all 3:2 aspect ratios that could be cooked up by cutting available glass a little differently. Also, if you care to recall the life of Wallstreet, Lombard, and Pismo, the current Ti is almost due for a similar looking, but differently proportioned redesign. Personally, I think they're probably going to keep the same aspect ratio, and even the resolution (for at least a few more months.)
I doubt that the resolution will be 1620x1080. It would be too straining on the eyes to have pixels that small ? there's a guy at my school who has a 15" Dell with 1600x1200 resolution, and trying to work with those tiny pixels is really straining and annoying. As for 1440x960 and 1532x1024, they both seem to be believeable resolutions.

There was a vendor at MWT showing off a large LCD with amazing resolution. It was a 22 inch display with something like 3000 dots horizontal resolution (and something close to 2000 vertical). They were displaying a map and and a magnifying glass in front so you could read the fine print.
For the main text they set the display font size quite large then it was quite usable.

I will be amazed if they are right...1536x1024 does seem a bit odd.
I thought 1600x1200 on a 15" lcd would be too small as well. the I saw it under Win XP and it looked fine. You can scale everything in XP and give it whatever style or colour you want. You can even give it OS X skin (if you liked working with crayons). You cannot see individual pixles unless you use a magnifying glass, it's like magic paper, and that's a great thing. I'm saving my $$$ until July and then we'll see if it's a Toshiba Satellite 5000 or a Powerbook.. it's up to Apple now.

If you mean higher-res, probably, if you mean 1920*1200 - almost definitely not.
