<p>Should I buy a 15 inch or 17 inch laptop for college?</p>

<p>15 (10char)</p>

<p>i heard that 17s are almost like desktop replacements and may be a little burdensome to carry around is this true?</p>

<p>15 .</p>

<p>15". 17" are pointless, heavy, and have poor battery life</p>

6

<p>^not the macbook pro! same battery life as the 15!</p>

7

<p>15" if you want portability.</p>

<p>which, guessing that you’ll carry it around to class… get the 15".</p>

<p>Why not stick with a nice 14.1" laptop? </p>

<p>Keep in mind that even carrying a laptop at all gets tiring eventually. A lot of students bring a laptop but end up getting tired of lugging it to class.</p>

<p>^but i have muscles so its ok.</p>

10

<p>I have an 18.5’’ that’s detached and has a 24x18x6 part and separate keyboard/mouse. It’s a bit heavy for class and the battery is minimal, but its power is great for general recreation.</p>

11

<p>Even better: Get the 15’’ then get a 17’’ (or 24’') monitor for your dorm that you can connect to when you do want to watch movies.</p>

<li>17 is like a television. It’s crazy big. Dumb large. Mad huge.</li>
</ol>

<p>ETA: When I’m alone, or writing for myself, I prefer to call laptops “labtops.” I actually had no idea that the b was a p until I was in 9th or 10th grade.</p>

13

<p>^Lol. Labtops.</p>

<p>15 inch is a better idea. 17 inch is too big for practical use.</p>

14

<p>Lol wow, 17 is huge. Go with the 15. I have 14.1, it’s pretty functional. Easy to carry around and such, and I’m pretty light. Unless you’re real buff and enjoy straining yourself.</p>

15

<p>I like SLightManifesto’s idea, getting a 15, but attaching a larger monitor in the dorm. I think that’s what I’m going to get my son. Working on a larger monitor is so much easier (imo).</p>

16

<p>I have a 17. It’s really not THAT big of a deal. Get whichever one comes with the computer you like better.</p>
