>> almost every AMD-based Dell notebook (and the others, too) that you see have 15.4" or 17" screens with (only) XGA.

I think the reason is that both Dell and AMD want to insure a very successful intro of the product line. So they keep it at low end and get high unit sales. I don't think that is a reflection on AMD. Apparently Dell wants to have something to sell at the low end. They really are sliding down-market. Maybe by intention. Lots more units there, and maybe more total profit. Certainly more revenue.

smooth - You're talking about artificial segmentation, not performance. There is no valid reason for hi-res displays being limited to Intel notebook platforms.
