    Sorry if this is the wrong area, but I guess it kinda works here.

    Anyway, is this for laptops or mostly just desktops?

    Thanks, links for either laptop or desktop if possible :)

    That resolution is for standard-screen displays, as opposed to widescreen displays, and most notebooks nowadays are widescreen so its not that commonly found :).

    I wouldn't say "no notebook"...as its very possible somewhere in the world there is :p. But yeah, its not a common one.

    The closest laptop resolution you will find is 1280 x 800 resolution. I have that on my Dell E1505, and it is great. I kinda wish I spent a little more and got the 1680 x 1050 res.

    The resolution you are looking for is a standard desktop resolution, which you can only get on older laptops. Their screens look square rather than widescreen. My Voodoo M360 is like that, only it has 1400 x 1080 resolution

    The Lenovo T61 14.1 inchers, and X61's still have standard aspect screens.

    Look around in business lines. That would be your best shot.

    1280x1024 isn't a 4:3 resolution (it's 5:4), so you you will never find it on a laptop.
