I think the 1366x768 is a limit of the EOMA-68 connector interface, not of the laptop display. 
No EOMA-68 laptop can have a better resolution unless it had a cable to plug to the HDMI 
output. But then this laptop would not be compatible with all possible EOMA-68 cards, only
those with an optional HDMI output, so quite off-charts. 

A future EOMA-200 or whatever standard might allow for higher resolutions. 

Or at least that's what I understand from what I read. 

But I think 1366x768 is not disappointing, and it's quite in line with the overall features. 
You don't get this laptop for high end features, that's for sure.
