How Practical are 20-inch Laptops?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the large-and-in-charge dept.

GeneralPacket writes "A 20-inch laptop might sound perfect for a game of Grand Theft Auto on the way to work, or navigating a mammoth spreadsheet. But are they really usable as laptops, or are they just luggable desktops? This week CNET attempted to work on the super-sized 20-inch Dell XPS M2010 laptop while travelling across London on the subway. The resulting video review is hilarious. This is not your typical tech video review — it's actually funny, and, refreshingly, completely advertising-free. The reviewer is in constant fear that anti-terrorism police are about to swarm him. Would you use a 20-incher?"

  1. Dell Losing Money? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    No wonder Dell continues to lose money, they release garbage like this.

    If a phonebook is not handy, it can also used to boost kids up on seats.

    Just crap.

  2. Far more of them carry guns today by billstewart · · Score: -1, Troll

    A couple of decades ago, the average British policeman didn't carry guns, just clubs, though they could go request a gun if they needed to chase someone Irish. These days they have Islamic terrorists as an excuse, so when they went out to assassinate that Brazilian guy, they were well-armed.

    You can run powerpoint presentations off a five year old low-end palm-a-like. Why would you need CADD capabilities in a conference room?
