Re: 2560x1440 screen--will you be able to tell the difference?
It's almost pointless to argue it, though, since the bigger issue will be battery life. Unless Samsung has worked some magic it'll take more energy to sustain the same performance with a higher resolution display. Their chips are made on the same process node as before, so they aren't more efficient. At least not enough to make up the difference.
It's make the chip more efficient, substantially increase the battery size, or accept a performance hit.
