After all, a big display is generally easier to work on as it offers more screen real estate for reduced eye strain, as well as larger images and videos for a more comfortable viewing experience. But there are disadvantages to selecting a bigger laptop, some more obvious than others. Apple brought wider attention to the idea of larger laptops in 2019 with the launch of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, 16 inches has emerged as a popular large-screen size in many laptop lineups, while 18-inch models like the MSI Titan 18 HX and Dell&#8217;s M18 R1 remain more specialized flagships. According to recent data from market.us, the 15-16.9-inch screen size dominates the global market with a 38% share, making it the most popular category by some way. Next is the 13-14.9-inch size with 21% of the market, while compact laptops (11-12.9 inches) account for 11%. Laptops 17 inches or larger make up the remaining 12%. Bigger laptops clearly have their fans, but larger laptops aren&#8217;t all they&#8217;re made out to be.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Extra weight and bulk means poorer portability<\/h2>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2189940\/16-inch-laptop-disadvantages-you-should-know-about\/\" data-post-id=\"2189940\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"5 Disadvantages Of 16-Inch Laptops You Should Know About: Extra weight and bulk means poorer portability\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"A man putting a laptop inside a laptop bag.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2189940\/16-inch-laptop-disadvantages-you-should-know-about\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Disadvantages Of 16-Inch Laptops You Should Know About https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2189940\/16-inch-laptop-disadvantages-you-should-know-about\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-12 12:47:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":271358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/5-disadvantages-of-16-inch-laptops-you-should-know-about\/l-intro-1780947196.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[51],"class_list":["post-271357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271357"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271357"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271357\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":271359,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271357\/revisions\/271359"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
