It is not the 16:9.  It is the vertical resolution you will have to
tolerate in a 16:9 _laptop_ if you don't want to carry something that
feels like a plank around.

16:9 is quite good when you have a 25" display in the first place.  In a
laptop, it is just idiotic.  If you want any proof, look closely at the new
ThinkPad X1.
