Cheap 2006 laptop? Would have been 768p at best, maybe even 600p. Even Apple would happily sell you an 800p macbook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_(2006%E2%80%932012)) until 2012 and laptop GPUs of the era would struggle with a 1080p desktop.

There were a lot of higher res laptops in that time period. They weren't everywhere which is why most people don't know about them.

They weren't "cheap college laptops" though.

Here's a 2006 laptop review roundup: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/best-laptops-of-2006/

There's a 4:3 1680x1050 laptop there (a $2k machine, described as "doesn't come cheap") and the macbook pro (also starting at $2k) was 1440x900.
