Notebook screen size
Hi, what's opinion about 17" ones, obviously they are heavier, what are the
reasons why I should or should not buy a 17" instead of a 15.4"? Thanks a lot in advance. - Ken |

Besides the weight, there's also things like:
Battery life Size (can be hard to get a bag to hold it, sometimes a pain to find room to unfold it) I've seen an Acer or Asus unit that had a 20" display... Nice, but I wouldn't want to lug it around all the time. Of course, I've also seen the Dell that has a 12" display, but all the rest of the "big boy" features. I don't think I'd be as productive on that... Always trade-offs! Clint "K Landsworth" wrote in message ...

In short convenience and personal taste.
As I get older, bigger screens get nicer!! Mel "Clint" wrote in message news:vA12h.234306$1T2.134993@pd7urf2no...

Thanks a lot in advance. - Ken I had a 15.4" Dell laptop and later upgraded to a 17" one. In my opinion, the 15.4" was large enough. The 17" feels a little too big, considering how close you usually sit to the screen. It was also difficult finding a case for the thing. If you aren't going to be moving your laptop around, then the larger screen may be OK, and you could use an external mouse/keyboard as well. |
