Are Bigger Laptop PCs Better?

A new category of supersized notebooks with screens larger than 20 inches could now be the real desktop replacements.
A new category of supersize notebooks with screens larger than 20 inches has recently emerged to challenge our decades-long preference for smallness in portable computers.
The reviewers and mobile computing experts tell us these monster notebooks aren't practical. They're heavy. They don't fit in standard laptop bags. They're too big to use on an airplane. There are three major players for this job ; Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Acer.
These systems all sport huge, bright and sharp 20.1-inch 1,680 by 1,050-resolution monitors with game-quality 3-D graphics cards; full-size or near full-size keyboards; remote controls; loud, powerful stereo-sound systems with subwoofers; built-in webcams with microphones; built-in wireless and network ports; DVD-burning capability; large-capacity dual-hard drives; and every port and media card reader your desktop has. The features lists go on and on.
The Dell has an innovative handle that doubles as a monitor stand when you open it. The Dell keyboard is detachable, wireless and full size. The HP has a pop-out remote control unit. There are many other minor and subtle differences between the three. But they all weigh between 15 and 19 pounds and cost more than US$4,000.
Desktops these days have huge LCD screens, spectacular multimedia options, including hi-fi stereo sound. They have enormous capacity hard drives and DVD burners built-in. Desktops tend to have five or more USB ports, full-size keyboards, webcams, full-size mice, multimedia controls on the keyboard and plenty of options for plugging in multimedia peripherals.
The three giant laptops mentioned here are the only real desktop replacement notebook computers on the market. The others replace the limited, small-screen, quiet, boring desktop you had five years ago, not the modern, big-screen media-center desktop you have right now.
Buying a monster notebook means you can buy one PC instead buying both a desktop and a notebook -- without making compromises in computing experience.
Also Giant laptops replace an HDTV.The quality of high-definition TV is so high that it no longer makes sense to spend a penny on a non-HDTV. These monster systems have such big and good screens, such brilliant sound systems and (with HD options) play HD movies that might even look better than your TV that they're perfectly reasonable alternatives to HDTV sets. They come with remote controls, so watching your monster laptop is just like watching your TV.
