Apple is printing money selling high-end laptops with 16:10 screens.
Meanwhile, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. would kill their firstborn children
for an additional 1/2% of margin.
IMO the story is that most laptop manufacturers are run by bean counters
who can't look past the extra $5 per unit that a 16:10 screen would cost
to the extra $100 they could charge for it.
(Not that I'm bitter or anything.)

It's sad that its very hard today, to find a computer that is
as capable... as high a resolution... as something that _was_
readily available and cheaply, five (or more!) years ago.
