Sure, but a lot of us use our laptops for tasks besides watching video.

  Uh, yes that was indeed the point of my comment, thank you for restating that. If video was the only important thing, 16:9 across the board would be important. But going the other way to 4:3 is a vast over correction as it would make the screen nearly useless for video.

    Maybe not all laptops should be 4:3, but that doesn't mean none should be. Many of us never use our laptops (especially employer-owned ones) for full-screen video, or have no objection to the letterboxing and slightly smaller video size when we do. "Nearly useless" seems like a ridiculous exaggeration to me. I have an iPad (4:3) used for little other than video, and love it.
