    True, just isn't a popular size though unfortunately.

    Only size I'll buy is 17
     
    Though it can be harder to find a good backpack or other way to carry the larger 17 inch models ... the productivity is just unmatched
     
    If weight is the issue for some - they need to hit the gym .. it not like it is a bag of rocks

    Second that. I owned a 15 inch laptop like 15 years ago... I've had nothing by 17 inch since... Just a couple inches make a LOT of difference, and tbh, it's really not that hard to find carriers for them. 
     
    The one thing I dislike is the 17 inch price markup which has notably grown thru the years.

    👍

    Didn’t even think twice between p53 and p73. p73 is one awesome powerful machine. If you’re gonna go big - go big.

    I used to mine. Now I compute.

    I'm not a fan of 17" laptops.  I have owned a few.  After years of shoving them under airline seats, overhead bus bins, under the bench seat on the ferries, so on and so forth ... a 14" laptop is now my daily carry.  I see no need for a 17" laptop any more.
     
    And that is why my SC 17 has been sitting in the EVGA box for over a year.

    This is a major nope. And that IR camera... scary stuff, its all true...

    It would be nice if they came with the non-pro cpu versions, it would be cheaper and less backdoors.
