4K HD laptop screens?

Although the 8xxm graphics cards may be able to display at resolutions greater than 1920x1080 they will probably cry for its mommy if asked to do anything intensive at 4k. However, saying that, I don't have a clue if/when 4K laptop panels will be available. I've not seen any, anywhere yet (not really looked either. but nonetheless haven't seen any).
If/when they are released they may very well be prohibitively expensive.

2560x1440 laptops are available
Its not exactly common sight though other than whatever resolution it is apple are using. It will be another year before they become widely available if not longer.
I wasn't referring to apple, but I agree with what you're saying, they are not exactly run of the mill. They seem to all be in the circa £1K+ price bracket too although that is understandable I guess.
Can get a 2560x1600 tablet for £350 but need £1000 for a laptop with that screen :/
i have seen the razer blade laptop and that has a new gpu (gtx8xxm) and a 4k hd screen. looks smart as aswell.
i was only asking as everything i have read on these forums about increased vram was along the lines of "more than 2gb of vram is unnecessary unless you plan to use a higher than HD resolution" and as most of the gtx8xx series come with more vram than most other gpus i thought that is what they are aimed at?
thanx for the answers guys.

lol 4k is the amount of pixels not the size of the screen. the smaller the screen the better the picture.
You may not be able to see the pixels but it tends to make a nice difference to picture clarity, text benefits a lot especially on windows 8, because it tends to use 1 pixels width but it now has 4 pixels which can all be a different colour for extra sharpness. Also I personally would love the extra screen space. To be able to have 4 full size windows open would be perfect for me!
Have you seen a 15-17" 4k screen next to a 1080p or 1440p one?
no tbh i havent seen them next to each other.
but if you look closely enough you can see pixels on a 1080p screen, i havent even used a 1440p screen.
