Why there are no 4:3 notebooks anymore? I kinda get 16:9 on 15" laptops, but on 12-13 inch models, which are the most popular these days, it makes zero sense
When the wide screen meme is gonna die?

Because laptops are more about entertainment than productivity nowadays due to normies buying them

Aren't kekbooks the ultimate normie machine? Even they are 16:10

But all the good compact laptops have a decent aspect ratio.
Macbook Pro - 8:5
Surface Pro 4/ Book 3:2
Chromebook Pixel 3:2

But 4:3 is the best aspect ratio for a laptop

Because 4:3 is a shitty aspect ratio. 16:10 is the way.

Now why does only Apple and MS make 16:10 laptops these days, that's the bigger question.
>>
>>53444566
16:10 is great and all for desktops but for a portable computer 4:3 is better
>>
>>53444579
The horizontal space seems rather limiting to work with. Say I can display 6 word pages with my laptop now but with 4:3 it'd be only 4.
>>
>>53444626
It's not really limiting at all, and portability is the more important factor here anyway.
>>
4:3 is good for laptops because most web pages have width < 1200px and most people use a stacking wm

comfortable to carry and better vertical px for reading

but who reads nowadays
according to the market standards atm people use their laptops for movies, porn and vidya

>tfw no modern versions of this or at least a decent clone with modern elements

>tfw can't even upgrade to the 1.92GHz CPU anymore
At least you can upgrade the screen on your own
>>
4:3 is nice and all but I got so used to working with 2 windows side by side that I prefer 16:10
