I said it before and I will say it again: a 14" display in 4:3 aspect ratio is the best choice for a programmers laptop! It's tall enough so that you can see a lot of text but narrow enough that the laptop does not get too bulky. If there will ever be a new 14" machine with a 1400*1050 display I will be first in line to buy it!

>I said it before and I will say it again: a 14" display in 4:3 aspect ratio is the best choice for a programmers laptop! Interesting. How do you measure the aspect ratio? By actually measuring the height and width of the visible part of the display with a ruler or measuring tape, or via some software utility / command? I have a 14" display laptop, and would like to know the aspect ration, hence asking.

  Pixels for computers are approximately square, so you can simply derive it from the native resolution of the panel. [1]: https://m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1400%3A1050 https://m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1400%3A1050
