whatès the ultimate notebook size for mobile people?
 

what notebook size would you get if you had to work with it a various places such as coffee shops, hotels, planes, trains,etc?

If i had to use it everywhere, and was on the go all of the time I would go with my full size laptop...a big pig....because it would have everythig that I need and because of the size would be able to work on it just as quickly as a desktop

Toshiba M65 Series 17" Screen

there is no doubt about it, IBM T-series. Best thing ever built.

What size is the screen of your lap?

Whould you be able to work comfortably in a small train or coffe table with that screen size?

Yes no prob.

13 to 14" laptops are right. I travel a lot. I am literally on the road a full half of every year and have been for the past 12 years. Travel mobility is a specialty of mine.

With that said, in the past 3 years I've had a 17", a 15.4" and a 13". I'd have to say the 13" is the easiest and most productive sized computer I have had so far.

I'm going to try one of the hot new 10" computers that are coming out. I think the 10" will be the perfect size since I won't really need a special bag to carry it through the airport. And honestly, carting it in airports is the biggest hassle of them all.

get a large one dude small screens drive me nuts, get a cary bag

NO.

I upgraded from a latitude dell ( 14 " ) to a HP Zd8000 ( 17 " ).

Battery life is short ( I bought 2 extra batteries ). For a DVD, the battery last one ( 1 ) hour !!!!
It is heavy, bulky .... It is great as a desktop ( HT , big drives, etc ..)

I have a 13.5 sony Vaio ... i love it

If it is not your regular work station, I would recommend one of the lighter weights...12.1 inch screen...Toshiba Portege would be a good choice and Sony has a nice small one too.

There simply isn't enough room on planes for big laptops and the smaller ones are great for travel....

I too would think 10" to 13" notebooks are ideal for the mobile person that don't always have access to a desk or big table....

i recently got rid of my 17 inch powerbook, and have downsized to a 15.2 incher, specifically for the mobility aspect. i'm finding it to be the perfect compromise.

I travel a lot, too....I tried the 12.1 inch. It just felt too fragile for me, so I went with a 15 inch...

I use it when I travel and I'm using it now while I am relaxing in my den, watching television..

While it is a little too large for travel, it's not so large that it is undoable...

i just got a 15.4" (widescreen) dell laptop and i love it.

So you wouldn't go smaller than 15"?

I don't think I will, unless I end up with more than one notebook. I like the
15 inch screen for working out of my office, although it's too big for airplanes.....I'd need one of those ten inch ones for flying....

I just can't see buying a ten inch notebook just for an airplane ride, when I really just want to sleep through it.

Since I am the king of laptops (inside joke) I would go for Sony's new SZ series. Its very sweet! Not cheap though. It weighs like 3.7 pds , 7 hours of battery and 128 video card, 13.3 xbrite screen.
