why some many PC laptops have 15.6" LED-Backlit (1366x768) Display

[space-time]

isn't this a little low resolution for a 15.6" display? at least 900 vertical would be nice.

If you want quality, you have to pay for it.

PC makers cut costs to keep prices low.

I'm shocked, shocked an appalled I tell ya.

Because 1366x768 is "good enough".

It is cheap. It allows them to use panels mass produced for TV's. Why is the MBA only 1366 x 768?

But the MBA is that resolution at an 11" size display compared to the 15.6" being mentioned. Even the 13" MBA comes with a 1440x900 display now.

So the question appears to be "Why is cheap junk junky and cheap?" Do you really need an answer to that?

Because 1024x768 isn't good enough.
