Thread 105941316

do laptops with 4:3 screens that are less than 20 years old exist?

no

maybe that Japanese one

>>105941316 (OP)
why?

>>105941394
i prefer it. i also watch/play a lot of old media that's in 4:3 and it would be nice to be able to fullscreen it without black borders on the sides.

what the fuck is people's problem with black borders

>>105941316 (OP)
This one is 19 years old. ;^)

I don't have a problem with them, I just want a laptop specifically for content that fits its screen. I guess I do have a problem with how that is to find.

oh the irony

Microsoft's Surface Laptops have 3:2 displays. That's probably as close as you're gonna get.

im an autist and i dont get irritated over every little thing. That's ocd fags. in fact i have quiet a bit of patience for nonsense like some douschenozzle cutting in line but i do get jumpy.

Why 4:3 and not 3:2?

You would have been the chief of a tribe back in the days before.
>>105942606
Why not both? Why not 1:1?

>>105941332
it has 16:10 same ratio as a thinkpad you retard

>>105941316 (OP)
Closest you can get in a modern context is a 13" iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard. But that's not really a traditional laptop and is more of a glorified Chromebook.

>>105941394
Widescreen makes sense in a desktop context because it gives you lots of space but on a laptop it's pretty stupid. Most of what you do on a computer is vertical, 4:3 is the best aspect ratio for smaller, more portable screens such as on laptops for both fullscreen activity and maximized and restored windows. I hate that 16:9 became practically universal for everything. Different contexts deserve different aspect ratios, 16:9 isn't perfect for everything.

>Why not 1:1?
asking the real questions

>>105941316 (OP)
not really but 3:2 ones do

icebooks were nice, great little machines, as far as macs went anyways.

>>105941316 (OP)
less than 20? sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad_T61 was manufactured in 2006

>>105943430
for example?

>>105943030
Widescreen gives you space for good speakers

>>105945456
Laptop speakers are irrelevant since they are always terrible no matter what. But even then, those grills are fake. The speakers are actually tiny. You can hide them under the keyboard without affecting sound quality at all.

Framework laptop 13 is 3:2
