have to say I’ve never seen a 20″ laptop in the flesh, but we sell 18″ ones at work. I’m a bit of a geek, but I actually like this whole thing. Used to be you’d have one 14″ laptop for everything. Now you can have a 9″ one for the train/travelling & a 20″ one for your desk at home.

the sketch is pretty funny. I would not like a 20 foot laptop, but my cat would love it chasing the vista bubbles screen saver… lol

I am a frequent traveller, and hate big laptops. In the late 90’s I used a tiny mini Toshiba called “Libretto”. It had limited memory, limited diskspace, hardly any accessories, but i could almost carry it around in my pocket… And I was happy, until the harddisk crashed way after Toshiba discontinued the Libretto and I could not find the software to rebuild the harddisk.

so nowadays I use a X60 Lenovo… Still relatively small, but powerfull with a great battery lifetime.

I like a small laptop better. I think it is more handy and its easier to carry it around. He he the drawing is funny.

I really liked the sketch, as always it was brilliant.

I really don’t care about my laptop size or screen size. I am only worried about the performance most of the time.

Yeah I actually just bought a 17″ at Best Buy, great features and brand, and it was actually cheaper than most of the ones with smaller screens. I like it better anyway because I’m blind as a bat so I need the bigger screen, actually I need the 20 foot screen in the cartoon haha.

I don’t have a laptop, so I carry my computer tower in a backpack and hold my monitor under my arm when I head to the coffee shop for free wi-fi and expensive lattes.

notebooks are now replacing desktop computers for people who don’t really play a lot of games. No wonder the screen is getting bigger and bigger.

I love my Dell 700m 12.1 inch screen
Good to carry to class, vacation, and on my bed.

Most of the “mini” or extremely thin laptops aren’t designed to be someone’s main computer — in my experience they are very slow. (Or at least slower than their normalish sized companion.) I suppose it depends on what your needs are, but I’d only get a super small/thin laptop for me as a second laptop to take traveling to conferences to give presentations, etc. Running code on them? Probably not. They’re so cute and alluring though…
