17" Versus 15" Laptop, Which Do You Prefer?

I have a 17 inch but I consider that size to be a desktop replacement laptop. If you want it lighter and more portable get a 15 inch.

We bought the 17 in with out Microsoft Office we are replacing a HP 20 in all in one I wanted something I could move around if I wanted to do my scrapbooking on the sofa or in bed or on the table.

17'' I could never go back to a smaller one. Mine is on my lap at all times and doesn't bother me at all. ""better to see with my dear""

I like a my 17 inch screen. It's as big as my old desk top, and I can use it anywhere in the house.

If I want portability out and about, it's tablet time.

Me too.

I bought a 14", and ended up returning it. I thought I would like the smaller size and would get used to it, but after 2 days I realized that I was always going to regret having bought it.

I take my Kindle if I go anywhere, and I'm quite happy with my 17" at home. (And it's pretty lightweight so not at all hard to travel with.)

If I needed a desktop, I would go for the 17." Since it is a laptop I would go smaller, to the 15." It just fits better into spaces for me.

To the OP ..... WHY is this posted in the Fashion section? There is an Electronics section for computer questions.
