13" or 15" laptop? I can't decide!!!

what are you going to be using it for and where?

>>59467461
13

13'' makes your penis look bigger when you use your monitor as a scale when you take dick picks

>>59467473
Writing papers, programming, gaming, watching videos, school work, etc. Taking to class, library, home on breaks.

whatever size a x220s screen is

>>59467461
the smaller it is the more often you will use it. that can work for or against you

>>59467461
>an inch of raw cookie dough

fucking disgusting. replace it with a brownie, then you'd have something equally over the top but at least somewhat edible

>13"

>>59467521
How do you even come to this conclusion?

>>59467501
13" and a big monitor for your dorm room

Oh forgot to add, I already have a desktop in my dorm. Looking for something to supplement it, but still powerful enough to do what I want when I'm not able to bring it around, like over breaks.

>>59467636
if you already have a desktop, get a 13" inch then
I had a 15" laptop that I carried around to lectures and it was a HUGE pain in the arse
Replaced it with a Surface Pro 3 and love the size

>>59467461
Anything lower than 15 is unusable. Really, this is one of those many cases where bigger = better.

>>59467685
When did you have your 15"? compared to years ago 15" laptops now aren't nearly as cumbersome. Look at the XPS 15 for example.

>>59467700
15" is borderline ultraportable desktop

>>59467461
12"

>>59467538
Raw cookiedough is the greatest thing man has ever conceived.

>>59467732
I find ~16,5 inches laptops to be the best.

14"

>I can't decide!!!

The fuck do you want us to do then? Jesus Christ, this whole board is dumb as fuck. Why are people even replying?

>>59467818
you must be a big guy

>>59467843
>what do you want us to do
Provide opinions to aid my decision. Are you retarded?

>>59467461
Always 13" bro

13. 15 completely defeats the purpose of a laptop.

>>59467876
I'm a woman and actually quite small :3 I weight ~47-48kg and 175cm tall. Although I don't see how this has anything to do with one person's size.

>>59467461
Smaller the better. Get an xps 13, 15 inch screen in a 13 inch body.

>>59468020
That makes no sense. The screen doesn't magically get bigger. The XPS 13 is a 13" screen in a 11" body. The XPS 15 is a 15" screen in a 14" body.

>>59467965
get the fuck out of here

>>59468020
>Get an xps 13, 15 inch screen in a 13 inch body.
do you mean "Get an xps 15, 15 inch screen in a 13 inch body"?

>>59468093
No :3

>>59467461
12.1"

it's a two inch difference. who cares? unless you have noodle arms and can't carry a fucking 15 inch laptop.

These made me realise that I'm too fucking old for /g/, because I can't see shit at sizes that small.

This 10 inch screen got me through college. Yeah, I had a desktop at home also, but still this is all you need.

>>59467837
this you fucking idiot

>>59468923
But that's wrong, you damned mong.

Literally doesn't matter. Get the smallest if you don't want to carry much, but studies have shown that writing down notes by hand is more conducive to taking in information.

>>59469042
Good luck writing down notes on hand from slides that transition before you can even get half of them down in summarized fashion.

>>59469075
>>59469075
Ask the lecturer for a copy of the slides.

Then you just take down the notes that are important.

You're not meant to scrawl down everything that comes out of the tutor's mouth, but listen and then note down what they say in a shortened way that you would understand. That way you take it on board more.

>>59468905
Had a 11" for mine. Ended up buying an old screen and a cheap keyboard and mouse for when using at "home". Ended up spending less than £100 for the equipment. It still works and I use it just off to the side for IRC and e-mail. Just don't have the heart to get rid of it.

>>59469127
>ask the lecturer for a copy of the slides
If only it were that simple.

>>59469599
Why wouldn't it be? How much are you fucking paying that they wont give you some slides?

>>59469599
It is.

>>59469643
>>59469661
You'd be surprised at how stubborn some professors are anon(s)

>>59469791
So go to the dean. It's their fucking job to educate you.

>>59468822
There's this thing called DPI scaling
resolution shouldn't affect readability

>>59469427
Yeah I understand that. My netbook is so outdated yet I don't have the heart to get rid of it. I even have it ready for a power outage or something with games. Haven't had an outage longer than 10 minutes in over a year.

>>59468822
Jesus anon, my dad's 49 and he even uses a 12" laptop
