Samsung has announced a new notebook today that will include the highest pixels-per-inch display of any book.

The new 13.3-inch QHD laptop will include a 3200 x 1800 resolution with 276 pixels-per-inch (PPI).

By comparison, the Retina MacBook Pro has 227 PPI and the new Google Chromebook Pixel has a 239 PPI.

Samsung is following the trend of extremely high-resolution computers. Last week, Sharp announced high PPI IGZO LCD panels for 11.6, 14 and 15.6-inch variants. Toshiba also just announced the 13.3 Kira ultrabook with a 2560 x 1440 display.

Furthermore, Samsung says the new QHD will provide 30 percent better power efficiency than existing LCD displays.
