17'' Laptop or 15'' Laptop


Nova

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

This is completely true!  And once you get into more budget friendly laptops, non-gaming, etc. the 17" options disappear.

 

I do see 16" screens popping up a lot anymore, and I wonder how they will affect things.

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?

 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.

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.

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 😛 .
