On: PC sales plunge, Microsoft and Windows 8 blamed

Not only that, it's hard to find a decent high-performance laptop that has a decent screen. If I were to upgrade now I might think of going with the Lenovo T430u, except it has a 720p 16:9 TN screen. How long until it's possible to buy an ultrabook with a 1080p or higher resolution IPS display? And hoping for a 16:10 aspect ratio is probably out of the question.

There's the ASUS UX31A Zenbook model, which I have. It's not quite what I'd consider high-performance, but the screen is beautiful.

Have you looked at Vizio's new ultra-book lineup. They have all been upgraded to touchscreen and the 15in models run at 1920 x 1080

Those are getting there ... but the GPUs are all weak.

The closest I have seen to what I want is the ASUS u500vz which has a decent mobile GPU, but it's extremely hard to get hold of (at least in my country).
