15.4" was for 1920x1200. For 1920x1080 it was 13.3", like on the Vaio-Z. :p

But the real kick in the teeth is that screens based on tech that offers 
very good power consumption (OLED and PixelQi) aren't available in 
larger sizes or high resolutions. The best that is likely to be 
available in the foreseeable future is the PixelQi 1280x800 10.1" 
screen. I can probably just about live with that for now and break out 
my trusty ThinkPad with a 2048x1536 screen for the heavy stuff.
