What screen size are you using and why did you choose that size? Are you happy with it? Will you go bigger or smaller?
-
I chose 14.1" because the 1420 is around a pound lighter than the 1520 and had a good deal when I was buying. I think that this screen size is perfect for viewing, although I really wish I got the WXGA+ display instead..
-
I upgraded or downgraded (?) from a 15.4" to 14"...in my opinion, the 14" is the Maximum size to be portable but I'm petite...got a great deal on my d630 and I couldn't choose the type of screen. Does the WXGA+ screen allow more real estate? Oh well...I guess if I have to ask, I'm not really missing anything, right?

I have a 15.4 inch screen. In the short term I wish I had something smaller as I will be in uni next year and taking it to/from library but its too heavy for regular travelling. But after that i wont be moving it around much so would prefer a bigger screen.

Uh... where are the standard aspect-ratio screens? There still exist standard-aspect ratio notebooks that are working, you know... and they're not that old, either.
-
15.4", since it's the smallest laptop with a "good" GPU. "Good" being whatever I define it to be. -
Heheh, I took the liberty of adding 15" and 14" 4:3 aspect ratio to the options. It's only fair
And I voted 15.
My V6 is only 2 years old... and it's still spotless. -
I'm in the 14.1" bunch. I like it because it has a nice portability to it, but at the same time I can be on it for long term use and it doesn't bother me looking at it. Meaning I am not squinting my eyes.
I really think I could be on opposite ends of the spctrum according what I need it for but for sitting in the middle I think 14"ers are the perfect size.
-
7", on my Eee.
Why'd I choose it? It's cheap and about as portable as it gets. -
I used to have a 15.4 and wanted to try a 14 this time around.
-
I'm moving this to Hardware because it's not really ASUS related (thanks to Dreamer for pointing it out), and also for better exposure / # of voters.

I'm using 17". My next one may be 15.4, havent decided yet. WUXGA resolution is a prereq for me.

I have a 15.4", my third one in a row, and before that a 15". Not sure what I'll get next, but I am leaning towards a smaller screen.

15" 4:3 XGA to be precise.

14.1 inch standard screen.
My next purchase will either be 14.1 or 13.3 inches. I can cope with either standard or widescreen. -
12", can take it anywhere I wish
-
I got a 17 inch, but 15.4 would have been better. Most 15.4 laptops have a decent GPU in it (probably an 8600M GT) and that's great for me, but right now I'm running on an overclocked 8600M GS and I'm relatively satisfied.
I would want smaller I guess, but there isn't really much of a graphics option for smaller notebooks... -
17" Its the business. Perfect for movies and opening multiple windows. Don't really bring my notebook out anywhere so it suits me
-
15.4 for me
What screen size are you using?
