I was recently in the market for a high-resolution, 386 laptop, and I did not find any that went beyond VGA. You may well have to go to the "laptop workstation" market. There aren't many of these on the street yet, but I recently saw one very impressive demonstration of the Sony NEWS 3250 lap-denting laptop. It has a 1120x780 display on an 11" diag screen. A little cramped, maybe, but not really to bad. The 17 MIPS, 1.8 MFLOPS, 8-36 MB RAM, 240-406 MB disk, UNIX System V Release 4, X11R4, integrated SCSI and Ethernet, etc should support a most demanding application. You can get in touch with Sony sales at 800-624-8999 x96.
