An ultrabook back in, say, 2000, like my Sony Z600NE, had resolutions like 1024x768 on configurations like Pentium 3 650Mhz and 128MB RAM. How things have improved since then... except for the screen resolution!

We really need to see 1680x1050 as a minimum on any screen over 11". You really don't get much "y" on a 768 screen. People need to get with "120dpi" and "large icons" for better screen readability. We all love "retina displays" on iphones, ipads, Galaxy Tabs, and GPS navigators, but the PC industry is lagging in delivering high pixel density to users.
I have to agree that screen resolution isn't that great. To be fair, ASUS' UX31 has a 1600x900 screen which is great. I'd like to see much higher resolutions in the desktop market though
