Quite frankly, anything over a 13" laptop in my opinion is no longer a
latop, its a fold up desktop computer.... some of these 17" "laptops"
are just insane, you might as well be lugging a Compaq SLT around with you.
IIRC< the Amstrad PPC machines (which had a tiny LCD dispaly, about 6"
diagonal) were actually wider than a PDP11 front panel. Some laptop...
