My 14 inch laptop is great. It's portable, but it requires space. It can't actually be used on a lap easily. I think I want a smaller laptop. My old Aspire One ZG5 (died because of a BIOS issue & I don't know where it is now) would be almost perfect for this. It was about nine inches. If I could find a laptop that fits in my pocket & have it still be large enough to see things on & type on without trouble it would be great.

A larger screen is very nice, but it turns something that's supposed to be portable into what is basically an all in one desktop with less setup time when it has to be moved & an internal UPS.

@jackemled "they shouldn't even make laptops bigger than this"
@midnaw I think about 16 inches is the biggest a laptop should ever be & only if it's designed for maximum practicality & must be that large in order to have all of its ports & a good heat management system. It still only makes sense for a traveling business guy though, & a business guy traveling doesn't make sense anymore because the Internet is good enough to do your digital documents or calls over.
@jackemled i have a 13 inch macbook air and it's genuinely the most convenient laptop i've ever owned like if i'm going somewhere on short notice i just chuck it in my bag and carry on
