While I agree with you that 1280x800 is no better than 1366x768 in terms of raw pixels, Apple DOES use far better panels in their standard MacBook Pro than you see in just about every other vendor, with exception to Sony and ASUS on some models. But Apple is well known for using high quality panels and fully calibrating from the factory, not just with their laptop panels but on the phones and tablets as well. But the 1366x768 panels I was complaining about offer poor viewing angles, poor color accuracy, contrast, and are just terrible in comparison to a quality panel you see from Apple and some other vendors. I should have been clearer on that, I apologize.
