17 Laptop Computer: The Perfect Screen Size
The bigger Asus laptop computers, for example, obviously have a larger screen size and that directly means that people have more screen space to work with; this can be critical for productivity and gaming as well. However they can be really heavy to lug around and are more suited as desktop replacements than portable workstations for travelers.
This is why smaller laptops have increased in popularity in the past year because they are more affordable and effortless to carry around for easy mobile computing. The small screen size may sound sweet at first, but some users end up wishing their laptop screen was just a bit bigger.
If you want the best of both worlds, it is best to go medium and slightly bump up the screen size a little bit to get the added benefits without sacrificing too much. The end result are 17 inch Asus laptop computers. Here are some reasons why a 17 laptop computer is advantageous over 10-12 inch laptops, laptop computers over 20 inches, and even regular sized laptops that have 12-14 inch screens.
Best Choice for Multimedia Enthusiasts
Whether it is gaming or watching high-definition multimedia content, a 17 laptop computer should fit perfectly because users can enjoy a slightly higher 1440x900 screen resolution than the usual 1280x800 that is native in most budget laptops. In addition, people who are into photo editing or spreadsheet processing will enjoy the additional screen space to work with.
Not Too Heavy
Carrying around a 20 inch laptop is hard work and even if you can carry it, most likely you won’t be able to go far with it. A 17 laptop computer is best for people still wanting that extra screen space mentioned earlier while being able to carry it around whenever needed. This makes it a powerful and portable multimedia system. Newer 17 inch laptop computers like the Toshiba laptop computer are lighter also because they are getting thinner while maintaining the same screen size. A 17 inch laptop for general use can weigh less than 8 pounds which is significantly lighter than small gaming laptops that way over 9 pounds.
Still Affordable
If you found a recent laptop model that has a 17 inch screen, you know you are getting a decent system that should fit a lot of your needs. You could also be surprised on how affordable these laptops are with prices under $700 – making them among the cheapest laptops.
