I don't think so. The popularity of netbooks suggests that the consumer market still wants a keyboard that supports touch typing and a screen big enough for... I'm not actually sure. Multi-paragraph documents like letter-length emails and news articles, perhaps? Larger laptops seem to be left at home most of the time. 15" seems to be the upper end of what people carry around. Even as a member of that content-producer class, I'd be annoyed by a larger laptop. I just went for a 15" with a higher resolution screen.
