Nova Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I recently purchased Asus 17'' TUF FX705DT. Which is pretty good laptop for me considering I wanted bigger screen and also gaming only laptop for myself. I think on that note I'd consider 17 inch as my goto computer because I prefer the laptop which are better for the gaming and also for the graphics work. If money were to be not the problem for shopping, which one would you choose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 17 inch laptops are so huge!!!!! I have no idea how i would get it around everywhere! I love my 15" Legion and it seems to be just the right size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrowned Guard Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Well, Uncrowned Empire operates off a 17.3" laptop, so I am going to go with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdface Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 My old laptop is a 17" HP Pavilion.. I do love the bigger screen, but you certainly notice the extra size and weight when carrying it around. I don't use it so much any more because it's a 4th Gen i5, and I've since bought a new desktop PC - but if I were to replace it I think I'd most likely downsize to a 15", honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrowned Guard Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I really thought 17' laptops were pretty rare today, but we so far have a majority of 17" devices here it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyFire Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I prefer larger screens, but 17" laptops can be quite a bit more expensive. I have a 15.6" laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see 16" screens popping up a lot anymore, and I wonder how they will affect things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungie Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm a 13" guy. It's a good mix of portability and usability for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next work laptop will likely be a 14" device. Although my main goal is to have LTE onboard and that is proving to be a challenge for options.

Have you tried looking into those USB dongles that do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one and it was a bit of a pain, plus I do not believe Verizon even sells them anymore and Verizon tends to hate most things lol. Granted, I have not looked very hard recently.

Nomad Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I have always used 15 inches laptop, I have worked on someone else's 17 inches laptop momentarily and I really liked the bigger size screen. Therefore, when I am ready to buy a new laptop I will get a 17-inch laptop. Since I don't travel much with a laptop bigger size laptop will not be cumbersome for me.

Kyng Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I have a 15-inch one... it's plenty enough for me, and anything bigger would struggle to fit in my laptop bag 😛 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Having a 17" laptop would be amazing if it wasn't something I was carrying around a lot. When I have a laptop I like to be able to carry it around and use it in different places so a 17" would be too big for me. I would much rather have a 15" that I could carry around easily enough.

Yeah, I tend to think that if a laptop gets so big that it becomes difficult to carry around, then at that point you might as well just get a desktop 😛 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrowned Guard Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Ya, my 17" setup is quite the weight to carry around. It is not just the laptop as it also has a larger power supply and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
