Sorry joeri, but this is kind of a dumb thing to say. Have you ever worked on a laptop? One of the smaller ones? I know 1024x768 is regarded as a low resolution nowadays - still many laptops use it, which shouldn't be forgotten.Sometime I get the felling you guys are stuck in 1024x768.

I've tried to find myself a laptop with an Nvidia graphics card and a supported resolution of 1600x1200, but it isn't easy (even with the money).

Yeah, I would like to work on 1600x1200 if I had some more money, but for now I work on 1024x768.joeri wrote: My laptop has 1600x1200. My desktop has 1792x1344. My G5 has 1920x1200. As every professional should have today.
Leaves the question if you want to develope for the profesional or not. If not; fine.
I use a resolution of 1152x864 on a 17" screen. I think that's reasonable.joeri wrote: What resolution are you working in?
As a matter of question, what resolution are you all working in, and specialy, what resolution are the developers working in and what is the target resolution?

Maybe because from what I remember that's what Blender is, or at least was, all about: making 3d available for everyone. Not once did I say that professional users should be forgotten. I just don't get this one-or-the-other mentality, as if taking your so called "low-end" users into account would automatically mean that all pros get let down. We should be inventing here.Why not? Why should the software be compatible to low-end users?
And to what extend? And if they should not be forgotten, then why should the upper end be forgotten?
In my view that's a bit like you saying "why does Blender need to be anything else than a Mac app". And I really don't understand why (or how) desktop users would suffer from it being 'laptop compatible'.Why does blender need to be Laptop compatible? And why do desktop users need to suffer from that?
Well if Blender were not laptop (or other modestly powered hardware) compatible, you would not have sculptmesh for instance (which I developed exclusively on my laptop), and probably a large number of other scripts and tools. I'm not sure how I see desktop users 'suffering' from being laptop compatible, or capable of using lowend hardware.Sometime I get the felling you guys are stuck in 1024x768.
As noted earlier that is a fairly typical maximum resolution for laptops. Also there is interest in porting Blender to even more constrained hardware, on the order of high end palm pilots and other hand held devices.
As noted earlier - the resources available to a professional can vary significantly from country to country, and by point in the professionals career. Also there isn't a requirement that professional applications be resource intensive - ZBrush can be used comfortably in 800x600 resolution and is one of the most highly regarded 3D modeling and texturing applications available. Also Animaniums design also allows it to be usable in a low resolution screen.Leaves the question if you want to develope for the profesional or not. If not; fine.
I don't think anyone is requesting 'throwing away' anything, but a flexible design to allow usage in lower resource scenarios is certainly desirable.Pretty lame to throw away handy buttons for the experienced (prof/semi prof) user because you want to be poor newbe compatible. Now I find *that* dumb.
Perhaps because the majority of developers are using hardware that is signficantly below what you consider reasonable?Why not? Why should the software be compatible to low-end users?
I've been shocked by how many developers and users I've encountered that have 300-400 Mhz machines.
How is the 'upper end' forgotten?And to what extend? And if they should not be forgotten, then why should the upper end be forgotten?
Why does blender need to be Laptop compatible? And why do desktop users need to suffer from that?
