I recently switched to a 13-inch laptop after using a 15-inch computer for most of my laptop-using life. It was weird at first, but now I'm used to it, and using anything larger feels incredibly heavy and unwieldy. 

This is why things like 17-inch computers are so interesting to me. Is there a world where anyone would want or need to carry something that big around?
