Poll: Which laptop display size do you prefer?

Been talking to several laptop manufacturers and one of the most common discussions we’ve always had is customer preference on laptop display sizes.

I thought why not put this question into a vote and ask all our laptop users here which display size they prefer the most.

Assuming screen resolution is not a significant factor, which display size do you prefer:

10.1 inches
11.6 inches
12.1 inches
13.3 inches
14.4 inches
15.6 inches
17.3 inches

I’m putting my money on the 11.6 inches because it’s a the middle guy between the 10-inch netbook and the 13.3″ laptop. That gives me ample screen real estate without sacrificing much on weight and portability.

I also added a poll on the side bar so you can submit your votes there too.

15.6

I’m a graphic designer who’s always on the go. I personally prefer a large screen. But not too big. Mahirap mabigat. Hehe.

But I guess most people use laptops for email/websurfing, word processing, computations. You don’t really need a big screen for that.

I’m sure I’m outnumbered. Hehe!

Ooh, I’m with you Sir Abe. May 12.1 ako ngayon, pero naiinggit ako sa pagka-portable ng dell mini 10 ng kapatid ko – pag nakasara. Pero pag ginagamit na, nakakadismaya na yung liit ng 10.1 screen. My friend has a 15″ laptop, parang ang laki naman. Hindi pa ako nakakakita ng 11.6″ in person, pero parang okay yung trade-off ng screen size sa portability.

In short, go 11.6″. :))

i have a 10-incher pero hirap na talagang gamitin. 1024×600 is just too small for my taste. sweet spot for me will probably be 13.3, basta magaan.

12.1″ since I’m more into surfing and a bit of games. Plus, it would be not that heavy to carry around compared to a 14″.

Between 13 inch up to 17 inch. I don’t mind the weight.

I prefer high resolution panels that have generous real estate, say a 15.6 screen with 1366×768 resolution.
