"Who says smaller is better in the on-the-go world of laptop computing? Clearly not some of the world's top PC makers, who are testing the waters for super-sized laptop computers that look more like briefcases than notebooks. The trend is being driven as much by technology as demand, fueled by 19- and 20-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors now starting to enter the market, upping the ante on the previous biggest models at 17 inches," reports Reuters from this week's Computex trade show in Taipei.
"Dell Inc, the world's top PC maker, along with Taiwan's Acer Inc and South Korea's Samsung Electronics, have all announced plans for or begun selling mega-laptops with screens of 19- and 20-inches."
The Dell shown above has a "a slew of bells and whistles, including eight speakers plus subwoofer, detachable wireless keyboard and a gyroscope-enabled remote," says the report.
