ah, that would do it, I was trying to figure out what the issue would be with it.

Is it possible that they just don't sell 4:3 screens very much anymore? I can't imagine why.

(Google tells me this is the case, 4:3 is the old standard and not made much anymore).

It’s the resolution I care about more than the aspect ratio. A squarer aspect ratio would just be the icing on top. But yeah, if you’re happy with 1920×1080, then it’s not too difficult to find machines satisfying the other two requirements.

I think it's just that unfortunately a lot of these laptops are geared towards gamers, and pretty much all gaming laptops have 16:9 aspect-ratio, and they also usually use high refresh-rate screens, which are also almost entirely in 16:9 aspect-ratio.
