I fear that the likes of 16' are simply too small, am I wrong?

small is good for people who like to go with their notebooks to the uni or elsewhere.

I'm planning it on using it for uni yes, a friend recommended me this one :

It's in dutch yes but if you scroll down ( a lot ) you'll see the specs.

if you are using it with school as main purpose I would buy a smaller, less heavy notebook.

I worked with 12" laptops which is till pretty do able, but you got to get used to the bit smaller keys. But 15,4" seems perfect for me, still fits easily in a normal backpack (eastpack or whtevr) and aren't too heavy.

17" + sized notebooks are so oversized, atleast I wouldn't want to carry such huge thing with me.

Mmm... have you ever seen a 20" laptop irl? They are soooooo huge. I wouldn't go over 17" on a laptop, anything more and I think you lose the portability... and without the portability its useless having a laptop :|

You could always buy a second monitor to sit at home and plug in whenever you are there with your laptop.

20" omg.. a bit too large unless you have a cordless keyboard or anti-eyecancer-serum

if i had that much money and i was willing to spend it on a laptop efficient enough to run some games too, my choice would be Asus G-50.. :)

Check my reply on Anqu, a better choice?
Parent

yes, i believe that'd be quite decent choice too.. if you're using it working on schoolstuff @ uni, you should get a laptop which can run more than just an one hour with its battery.. On the other hand if you want to have some power & performance, you should find an optimal balance on the specs. If you're going to use it more on studying and stuff you should really get a notebook with a long-life battery. You can always upgrade your PC to run the latest games and stuff. It's a difficulty finding the best option and balance between the needs.

Tnx for your answer, it helped me made up my mind.

I'll only use my laptop to make notes at uni, to study, watch movies, and to play some fm2008/warcraft 3 on it once I reach my student dorm ( where I can just plug in my laptop ).

maybe it's better to buy an pc for gaming and an laptop for working. A decent pc isn't that expenive, and a notebook with slow hardware has better batteries. There are notebooks which batteries end after 2hours.
