Any Windows notebooks with retina display?

[bluevalley2000]

Hi, any one know if there are any Windows-based notebooks that offer retina display resolution like MBP? I am a Windows user, so preferably would not want to buy MBP just for the display. Looked at some notebooks at Challenger and none that I saw could compare with MBP retina resolution. Hope some brothers out there can advise. Thanks.

Currently, there is a HP TouchSmart
ENVY 14-k022TX 3200 x 1800, WQHD+ selling at $1699. Incoming Asus UX301 is WQHD with 2560 x 1440 as well.

MSI GT60 3k is also this resolution.

Thanks bro. Great to hear this. Just surprised why there isn't more PC manufacturers releasing retina displays. Surely there is a market for this right?

Usually on typical monitors you will only see those resolutions in like 27-30 incher monitors, if not things will going to be too small.

AFAIK Apple solves this by having their OS to redraw everything and scale up so it looks like what u see on a normal 15 inch screen in terms of the size of the programs. And it is said that programs must recognize that scaling to look properly

I am not sure if Windows have this function or if the 2 laptops bought forth by PC Dreams have certain 3rd party software included to do that, but before u commit just check them out first, google around or what, since its rather new to the windows platform and as u know the Mac ecosystem is pretty much closed unlike the windows platform.
