Laptop size?

<p>I don't want anything under 15.4", and am trying to decide between that and 17". I've heard that most 17" laptops are heavy and won't fit into most cases, making them difficult to carry. But I also like the idea of having a full keyboard and a larger screen.</p>

<p>Any opinions?</p>

<p>I would get 15.4"</p>

<p>17" laptops can often weigh over 10 pounds. Not to mention you can get a full keyboard, even a number pad on a few 15.4 inch laptops.</p>

<p>look at this</p>

<p>Newegg.com</a> - ASUS M51 Series M51Sn-X2 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T8300(2.40GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 667 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS - Retail</p>

<p>You can get an external monitor for when you're at your desk if you want a bigger screen.</p>
