    Is there a huge difference between a 14.1" widescreen and a 15.4" Laptop widescreen?
    Im buying one and am wondering if I'll upgrade it from 14.1" to 15.4" .
    I'll only be using it for surfing and family Pictures.
    Would it be wirth the €50?
    And would the 15.4" fit in a old standard 15" laptop case?

    Personally, owning a 15.4 I think they would be worth the 50 euros if you are going to have media centre on it then definitely. I'm not sure you need a widescreen for photos, I also dont know if the case would fit, but it is a large laptop with 15.4

    that's strange, i would have looked for a 14.1" over a 15.4" for portibilties sake. I wouldn't imagine there is any quality difference anyway. If you are planning to watch film's and stuff, than i bigger screen would hold a slight advantage.

    Most laptops of these sizes are the same frame, but the 15.4 screen goes close to the edge of the case, where the 14.1 inch will have a bigger border around it, so portability is the same.
