Why don't Dell have 16" screen on Laptops?

[WHATif]

Just curious. They don't have either 15.2",15.7" or 16" screen. Is it a deliberate decision??
I mean Sony and Toshiba have 16"....what is the future 17" 18" 19" 21"???? Is 16" the maximum you think before a laptop starts looking like a desktop?

have you seen how big an 8200 is? would you honestly want a larger notebook than that?

The Sony with the 16" screen is so wide and deep it blows my mind. i seriously doubt we'll see any larger screens on laptops until we have flexible or foldable screen techology. It's getting a little redicuious as it is.

Except for not having bigger than 15" UXGA, get everything else you'd ever want in a big laptop here. They basically sell portable desktops with a scaled down video card (if you're a gamer) in a small package like a laptop. They use desktop CPUs in most of their notebooks, so don't expect good battery life _at all_.

It would be harder to carry if the screen gets bigger. Personally I like the size of the laptop the way it is now, I don't really see a need to have a larger screen.

I will prefer higher screen res than larger sceen sizes...
16 inch is huge for a notebook..
