11, 13, 15, or 17 inch

Simply put what is your screen size of choice. It's an interesting answer and I personally find myself leaning towards 11 to 13.

So what Do you guys think about it is bigger better or is small all the rage.

15, just sayin, once you go big, you wont want to go small

11 is too small, and 15+ inch laptops are too heavy (even the ultrabooks). 13.3-14 is perfect for me.

13. Just portable enough cause the only time i'll use a laptop is when i'm not at home to use my desktop

[Dudenstein]

11 or 13 would be my preference. I have a 17 incher and it's horrible to bring when I travel.

Personally, resolutions plays a bigger part for me, especially with 14" laptops, I really see the pixels on a 133X768 dislplay. My laptop has a 11.6" screen though I only really do light tasks with it. As a laptop to do a decent amount of productivity 14" with 1600X900 resolution would be beautiful.

12". The exact size of most of the Thinkpad X series laptops. 14.1" is the maximum I would go.

[Lyons]

11-13". Laptops are supposed to be portable.

It really depends on what I would need to use it for.. For portability and general use, I like a 13" or 14" laptop (11 just feels to small). For gaming (for situations in which you can't have a desktop), a 17" screen can really help you see what you need to see, and larger laptops usually offer much stronger hardware.

11" is perfect if you are looking for a very portable laptop. 15" and up is more like a "portable" desktop replacement, i.e. if you need the power on the go.

 

I personally had 13" notebooks for the last 7 years and just switched to a 11" Macbook Air. It is just the perfect size and wieght to carry around with you ;)

Yeah figured I should probably add one haha. Alright guys lot of great answers here keep 'em coming.

13" - 15.6" is optimal for me.

[pewpewmerica]

Hm, I like them all for diffrent reasons, but I think that I prefer 11 or 13 inches

[Qazza]

Personally I have a 14in 16:10 currently, but I can't stand 15.6+ for laptops. Their meant for mobility and should be used for it imo.

[Ssoele]

13.3 or 14.1 for me, with a good resolution that is. I take my laptop with me most of the time, so it has to be portable.

[Zappy]

Meh, it depends. there's pros and cons for each size... though right now i'm using a 15.6" laptop.

[Breakdown]

14'' seems like the best size for me.

 

I'm using a 15.6'' right now, and it's just a tad too heavy.

[Master Valafar]

13" is too small for 1080p, learned that lesson now.

[Nicktrance]

13" ultrabook for uni :).

[Nirmal]

13'' is too small to run a display at native 1080p,and 17'' doesn't fit in my backpack so for me 15'' it is. Though if I was traveling a lot and didn't want to do anything serious, 12''-13'' would be ideal.

[Arcticfo]

Great answers guys this has really been useful in understanding what each size is optimal for and what each of you think of them. 13 inch has a clear lead with 15 in 2nd thanks for the help guys
