    I am wondering what the physical dimensions of the 16" lcd is. Is it shorter than the typical 15.4"? I wish they made this laptop with a 16x10 ration screen instead of 16x9.

    the entire body of the SXPS 16 is very long.

    *does some geometry*

    Assuming the diagonal of the screen is exactly 16 inches, and assuming I have correctly used the Pythagorean Theorem, the screen is 13.95 inches by 7.85 inches. The laptop itself will be longer and wider, since the screen needs some kind of border.
