So I've not tried enough windows touchpads to comment on that, but from what I've seen there's quite a few Windows laptops with higher res screens than 1080p

e.g.

Dell XPS 13 - can have a 3200x1800 screen

Lenovo Carbon X1 - can have a 2560x1440 screen

HP Elitebook G3 - Can have a 2560x1440 screen

Microsoft surface book - 3000x2000 screen

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 - 2736 x 1824 screen

I didn't mean to imply that there are none. I meant that they are incredibly rare if you consider the number of Windows laptop models available. The vast majority have either 1366x768 (low end laptops) or 1920x1080.

sure, it's just that you said that even "high end" windows laptops didn't usually have better screens when from what I've seen pretty much all the top Windows laptop brands have high-end models with better screens.

A couple of years ago, sure Windows laptops tended to have terrible screens, but that problem seems (to me) to have largely been resolved these days, for high-end devices anyway.

But you can't compare Macbooks to $500 laptops. You need to compare them to ultrabooks like the XPS 13, where you'll see that the gap isn't so big.
