Re: suggested resolution (and other specs)

 

Hi,

I'd also argue for a lower minimum resolution like 1366x768 or 1024x768 - simple because still a lot of mainstream laptops are sold with that.
 
Have a look at the Wikipedia display resolution page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

According to the table "Most common display resolutions in May of 2015" you can find 
that the HD display (1366x768) is among the largest group of web users: 26,63% !

One way could be to define a minimum resolution but also a recommended resolution - such as 1600x900.

Thanks,
Torsten
