As a counterpoint, I’m a traveling coder/student and I abhor tiny screens. If the LG Gram 17 gets an update with a 4K screen, or better yet if Apple releases a zero-bezel 17” MBP the same size as the current 15.4” model, I will jump on that like my cat on anything dairy.

Thanks for the counterpoint. Come to think of it, I really know one person who likes as-big-as-possible and he is a pilot and avid gamer, so he buys 'portable' gaming laptops.

The laptops I encounter when working with people all over the world are usually 13 inch or smaller and people nag a lot about that they are not comfortable to carry or use in cramped spaces. There are quite a few Japanese laptops that are popular among this crowd, especially this[0] jewel pops up more and more.

11” macbook air is _almost_ perfect form factor. Just a handful of apps don’t handle how widescreen it is well.

Yes, that one was great. I am also saying that the market apparently shows people want bigger laptops as they cancelled that 11inch one which was really perfect... I miss it; there is nothing to replace it really.
