I can't seem to find many non-16:9 options out there. Can anyone recommend a gaming/workstation laptop with a taller screen?

Where are you from? Budget? Usage? Any preference on weight and battery life?

I think the MacBook Pro comes closes as to what i'm looking for, but i don't want an Apple device. The only metric that matters to me is productivity (hense the taller screen) and multitasking. So basically something with an 8750H or better and hopefully a good GPU for gaming.

 

TBH i don't know if such a thing exists (except the MacBook), but short of that i think people might find it useful to see a list like bindydad123 made (the ones i found when searching were old).

Where are you from?
I live in Denmark at the moment
Budget?

3000USD

Usage?

Programming (Virtual machine use/Docker) and occasionally gaming
Any preference on weight and battery life?

I would like something light, portable and with a long battery life as i travel a lot, but i don't want to have to deal with thermal throttling

I'll probably buy from amazon or from the manufacturer's website.

Yes, i've already picked out a 16:9 laptop, but i'd prefer a taller screen, which is why i'm looking into other options

TBH there aren't any non 16:9 gaming/workstation laptop I can think of, unless you're fine with Ultrabook / regular laptop
