Definitely agree that widescreen has become common due to customer preference. But is 16:9 over 16:10 really a selling point (or even noticeable) to the average

Definitely agree that widescreen has become common due to customer preference. But is 16:9 over 16:10 really a selling point (or even noticeable) to the average laptop buyer?
It probably has been used as a gimmick competitive advantage ("even more widescreen than before!") but I bet the 16:10->16:9 move was predominantly due to screen supply and cost.
- jamesbritt 15y agobut I bet the 16:10->16:9 move was predominantly due to screen supply and cost. Most likely, while the percentage of consumers who would be complaining has rapidly dropped. Also, if you've never had a laptop before then it's all pretty much the same.
