    Which do you prefer? As I was looking through more recent laptops, I don't think I can actually respect the 16:9 ratio anymore, perhaps I'm too used to the 16:10? I don't know, perhaps it makes laptops much more portable but I don't know. I'd probably still pick a 15.4" over a 15.6", perhaps that's just me. Please, vote on the poll, I'm just really curious to see how this turns out.

    Ouch, didn't see that thread when I searched for the screen ratios, oh wow. I probably would've never made this one had I seen this protest thread...
