You should've waited a bit longer for Samsung's Series 9 (if you went for the high-end Air)

I did wait for the Series 9, but it had 1366x768 :(

Hilariously, Sony omits this tidbit on their own page. See it here: http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2011/01/samsung-9-series-ul...

Is the difference in resolution that discernible? (Serious question btw)

Ya, huge difference imo. Macbook Air has a decent 1440x900, which amounts to an extra 17% vertical increase.

and 23.5% increase in "pixel area".
