What is objectively the best laptop size?
14"
12-13" is too small
15" is too large
14" is Juuuuust right.
>>54578895
12-13 inches for a laptop you need to move with constantly, 14 for a general use laptop, anything bigger you may as well get a desktop.
>>54578895
12,5"
13,3", objectively.
>>54578895

15 is big enough to watch movies w/ qt3.14 gf, small enough to fit in backpack.
Anything bigger is retarded, anything smaller should be a tablet
>>54578990
>buying shinkpads
>>54578972
14 is only weird because apple doesn't make a 14" laptop
If they did you'd be touting 14" as the savior of the planet.
I have always used 15.6 laptops but I am thinking of "downgrading" to a 14 inch as I take my laptops to uni pretty much every day. My only concern is gaming and video might be hindered. Thoughts?
>>54579130

well you're a fucking retard for gaming on a laptop to begin with senpai.
>>54579130

Are you special?
19"
I'm fine with anything 10"+
15+ starts to get too big.
14" because that's what I own
There is no objective best size. It depends on the individual's specific needs.
>>54578895
12-13.3
>>54579024
except the 15in rMBP is about the same size as a 13/14in laptop but still has 15in
Personally I think 14"
I have a 13" laptop and although it's comfy af, sometimes I feel it's little bit too small
>>54579263

I've been gayming for 4 years now on my 13" mba
>>54579296
That's gotta be the faggest trip ever
>>54579359
Then lets make a 14" laptop the size of 10-11" laptops
sorry but your argument well THIS 15" is actually smaller wont work. if that's the case make an even smaller 14"
13.3
I have a 15" laptop and it's just a tad big, I'd say 13-14 is perfect.
>>54579401
but that would be 13, which is too small
>>54578895

>>54579437
15" laptop the size of 13-14" is a 15"
But a 14" laptop the size of 12-13" is 13"?
You sure know how to apply logic.
I like 13 and 14. 15.4 is nice on the rMBP 15
12.1" with a 4:3 screen.
14" thinkpad
>>54579505
This is literally the elder god tier but the only laptop that I know of with those proportions is X60/X61 which is way too outdated now. Really a shame no one managed to replicate the beauty of X61, the best ultraportable ever created.
I use 16:9 14" now because everything is shit anyway and I can't afford pixel.
14 inch is the best compromise between usability and portability.
>>54579539
PowerBook G4 nailed it too, mine would still be my daily driver if the battery didn't die
As long as its lightweight 14" is perfect for general use

>>54579612
Didn't you hear? They put desktop CPU in laptops now and Thunderbolt eGPU have 40gbps bandwidth.
22"
>>54579744
Yeah but you're then paying several hundred dollars for an eGPU dock, and that's before putting a GPU in it. So you're still adding a significant expense.
>>54579780
They will get cheaper.
I'm using a shitty older expresscard based eGPU dock and it only ran me $50

13.3 best size. 15 is too unwieldy, anything lower is too small.

Kek hello manlet
Retina MBP 13 inch is a great size. The thinkpad x240/x250 are also great sizes. My gf has a T440s for work and I think it's okay but too large for me, she thinks my laptop is a good size too.
15 is kinda big and cumbersome
13 is perfect, it's still an okay size but it's comfy
Provided that you also have a desktop or at least an external monitor (why the hell wouldn't you), the best size is no doubt 13". The perfect spot between too big (15"<) and too small (11">).
17.3". And don't give me it's too heavy bullshit. If my mother can carry around a purse with the weight of an anvil you fucks are weak.
I fell for the 15" MacBook Pro meme when work offered me a choice of laptops, God I wish I had got a 13" one now.
For my sins I leave that mainly on the desk with its docking station and use a HP Elitebook 2170 when out and about.

I think 13" is the sweet spot for almost everything except for the absence of a numpad. They're useful in so many ways for those who utilize them, but I've not seen them on anything smaller than 15"

12-14 depending on nuances in use case and user preferences.
I like 13" laptops, because I don't really have a use for a number pad on a laptop (most of my typing is on a desktop at home), and a number pad on a laptop pushes the a-z keys to the left, on a keyboard layout that already prefers the left hand
> The QWERTY layout has more than 3,000 words that are typed on the left hand alone and about 300 words that are typed on the right hand alone

a powerful 15''-17'' laptop that's portable when it counts and will be better than a 12'' ultraportable university crawler for some use cases
likewise for the ultraportable
there is no objective best, if there was manufacturers wouldn't waste their time on anything else

15inch laptops are for normies or retarded win8 users

Generally light, easy to carry on any backpack, you can actually use them comfortably on your lap (see also: lap-top) and using them is just a generally good experience

I have a 17.3" and actually had myself convinced that I was going to take it anywhere. I've taken it to school maybe 5 times, ended up buying a netbook and loving myself for it.
17.3 is great for around the house, though. Still not sure why 17.3" laptops don't use standard ANSI layouts rather than their weird ass shifted arrow keys and nonstandard bottom row.

>>54578999
came to say bretty much this
trips confirms
10-12" is the perfect balance for usability and portability.
17" is just stupid large but generally has more power and options at the cost of portability (which is sillt for a device designed to be portable)
15" is ok if you need a full size keyboard and numberpad and multiple drives but it is still pretty unwieldy. A decent compromise if you need a mobile work station.
14" is an awkward inbetween size. It's a mix of 12" and 15" but with the advantages of neither.
12" is a good size laptop. The keyboard is not cramped and has more than enough space for a full size standard keyset (minus the number pad). Not really an issue these days, but most 12" machines don't have space for an optical or other second drive.
10" is a good size convertible and practically the same size and feature set as 12"
Anything smaller is a poor laptop and always compromises in too many ways.
7-10 inch screen. A laptop is for portability not power. Thus it should be as small as possible.
Desktop is for power.
>>54593059
you can't get decent dedicated graphics below 14"
>>54593264
what do you need dedicated graphics for? Is rendering something really necessary for a portable platform?
And actually you can. I believe the Surface Book has dedicated graphics.
I'm very fond of 14/14.1" and prefer it over all others. Working on a Dell Latitude E6420 at the moment (14"), owned an E6400 before that (14.1"), got a ThinkPad T430 a few days ago (14"), it just works better for me. Larger displays usually bring along the thing I probably despise most of all: full size keyboards on a laptop meaning it has the fucking numeric keypad as well.
Fuck that, it ain't happening. Can't tolerate that off-center shit - call it OCD or whatever you want, I don't give a fuck, it just ain't workable.
Can't tolerate MacBooks, too many issues with actual ergonomics and the keyboards are fucking shit and always have been.

>what do you need dedicated graphics for? Is rendering something really necessary for a portable platform?
mobile workstations have been a thing for a while and there aren't many below 14/15" form factor. Anything smaller simply can't handle the power consumption or heat output of workstation tier hardware, resulting in the use of either integrated or low end cards (940m in the surface book).

Laptops are used for a number of different things, optimal screen sizes differ. It's like saying "What type of shoes are objectively the best?"

>>54595741
What pisses me off is people who have fat gaming laptops with shit battery life act all superior to people with lighter and longer-lasting laptops because their overheating pieces of crap that weigh 20 pounds can run Crysis at medium settings. They are like the people who bought Android phones early on and insisted the early versions of the OS were good. Those people are annoying as fuck and should be held to their claims. Plus, they've never used anything else and hold on to their preconceived notions without critical judgment and yet they parrot shit everywhere.

I have one but I am letting my mom use it full time, I much prefer 14" for my own use. X220 just feels a bit too cramped to be comfortable.
