Re:nicer screen
16:9 is worse than 4:3 for laptops.
Unless it's a "retina" screen you get 1080 pixels high.
Non-Shiny is hard to get.
Cheap models have poorer viewing angle than 14 years ago.
2002 there were 15" totally matt, ultrasharp, wide view angle 1600 x 1200 screens on some laptops. Good luck finding one even as good as that in PC World.
Some high end Lenovos and Apples have better screens, but you need 17" due to the 16:9 form factor
HD Video curse, reducing resolution of PCs! Maybe we'll see some decently priced UHD/4K laptop screens, still be cursed by video factor .
