Well, I really like being able to put a code editor on the left and then a browser, terminal, document, LaTeX output on the right of the screen without them becoming too constrained horizontally. But probably this is a very particular use case?
- renegadesensei 9y agoI do the same thing all the time. It's one reason I tend to buy very large laptops.
- jamesgeck0 9y agoThe "nominally widescreen" 16:10 aspect ratio great for this. Anything shorter than that feels cramped to me.

- wffurr 9y agoIf you take the same width of screen, e.g. 1920 pixels and make it taller, say, 1440 pixels, then you have the same horizontal space and all of those windows are taller with more content in them!
- fphhotchips 9y agoIsn't this just saying "if you make the screen bigger, you get more space"?
- lmm 9y agoIndeed. Better argument: for a fixed diagonal, you get the most space by having a square screen.
- SllX 9y agoPlus potentially a bigger keyboard with more rows. If Apple had done that with the new MBPs they could have had room for both full-size function keys and the Touchbar. C'est la vie. Edit: after posting I realized something was missing. I meant had they done this and increased the diagonal to say, 17 or more inches.
- vinayan3 9y agoYes I love being able to have 3 screen splits on each monitor so that I don't have to move any windows when I need to look up some reference.
