Laptop Aspect Ratio Preferences
Comments debate the superiority of taller aspect ratios like 16:10, 3:2, or 4:3 over 16:9 for laptops and monitors, emphasizing more vertical real estate for coding and productivity to reduce scrolling.

power consumption, other then that i also dont see it. i have laptops with 16:9 16:10 and 3:2. I find the 16:9 worse.
Cool, so buy something else; literally every laptop on the market is catering for you, and I'm genuinely happy for you-- but those of us who prefer taller aspect ratios have nothing.. please let us have this.
Anything taller than 16:9. Unless you like scrolling, or use the professional developer laptop for watching movies all day.
Great. Now, when can I get one with a screen taller/squarer than 16:9? I really dislike TV aspect ratios for code.
Same! Not even on an ultrawide, but 16:9 laptops make usable vertical real estate a priority
yada yada ... It's still a 16:9 screen ratio, why not betting on 16:10 instead?
Kinda weird, remember my 4:3 in portrait mode fondly. 16:10 might be decent.
Interesting. For me the screen needs to be 16:9 or 16:10 to be even considered.
I hope the display is 16:10 or taller. Really need more vertical real estate than 16:9.
yea doesn't make sense. maybe they are using a small sized screen and are getting confused by that.personally on a laptop i prefer 3:2 for most things but on a larger monitor i like 16:9 since you can have two programs side by side.on a 16:9 smaller laptop screen, having things like two file browsers side by side works ok, but having programs with lots of ui, adobe premier or photoshop, not so much
