[INFO] - Large Display Laptops

[Sbu051995]

Hello community  

Honestly this is just a little ranty thing so feel free to ignore me XD

 

I want to know something though.

 

Where did laptops with large displays go????

I have horrible eye sight. I'm an automation engineer so I use the PC for a zilion hours a day and travel with it... a lot...

 

I saw around 2007 there were gigantic displays on laptops!

• HP HDX18 had, as the name suggests, an 18 inch display on it
• HP HDX9000 and 9400 had a freaking 20.1 inch display on it!!
• Acer made an 18.something laptop too...

Why nobody makes anything like that anymore... 
On ebay the only one I can find is the HDX9000 which goes for 500€ and has a core 2 duo and 8800gts  it's insane!!

Well the name laptop means it has to be portable and realistically speaking some 17inch laptop kinda hard to fit in most back pack

I guess the market for such a large mobile display was that small. May I interest you in a HP ZBook 17? What a chonker

I run an Eluktronics Prometheus XVII laptop which is 17 inches. Love it.  And it's less than 5 pounds in weight. Also finding carrying bags or backpacks is easy.  I travel with mine all the time.

I also have a 17 inch. It's an Asus Fx753D but sometimes it's still too small... when I'm in office I have a 27" and that is good working...

Already having a 20" would be a good upgrade... I don't mind the weight... also with the new tech in displays the bazels can be thin enough where it would be just a touch bigger then a 17...

Plus if it's for professional use like CAD or programming like I do it doesn't need an SLI of 3090s and a 11900k overclocked in it... so it can be thin enough to not weigh like a small dog...

I know a laptop with those specs above isn't realistic it's just an hyperbole XD
