>When it comes right down to it, I find only these two things to be of paramount importance: >the highest possible screen, >the lowest possible weight. Rotate the monitor sideways. According to the only 2 criteria that matter to him, a 16:9 monitor on its side is way better than a 4:3 monitor in any rotation.

How many laptop monitors can you rotate?

  All of them. You just need usb keyboard and mouse and flat stable surface.

  All of them, but you'll rotate the laptop itself with it. Which can be quite a hassle. :p

He already does that with his desktop monitor, he's talking about laptops. > This is why my desktop LCD monitor is mounted vertically the whole time, and this is also why I would like my notebook monitor to be positioned likewise.

  In that case, the answer is because adding more height to the screen would mean adding more height to the base as well. You basically double the additional weight, which is against his low-weight requirement. Alternatively, you can shrink the keyboard. I'm sure that if he tried a keyboard with smaller keys, he'd suddenly add a third requirement to his list: Regular sized keys. I remember the days of people complaining about laptop keyboards, and I'd much rather have a slightly wider screen that I didn't need than smaller keys.
