Do gamers really prefer 15.6" screens over 17" ?

I see so many more 15" deals, so I am genuinely curious as to why. Is it just the portability factor?
A lot of people, e.g., myself, use the external monitor(s) and would rather not pay extra for 17", aside from the obvious bulk/portability factor.

I would choose it if 17" has similar spec & price

Quote from PoptartJones :
It was a serious question. Size/weight doesn't affect portability for me, so the answer wasn't obvious. While you might consider carrying a 10lb laptop an issue, I may not see a problem with it.
17" laptops are basically just portable desktops. You can move it, but practically, it is far too cumbersome to do so on a regular basis.

I tried carrying around a 17" laptop for a month before I returned it. Functionally, the computer itself was awesome, but at the time, I moved around a lot. In addition the size and weight, the 17" version typically also has a bigger and heavier power brick. If you do any sort of traveling, forget about it. The little tray table won't hold a 17" laptop comfortably. On trains, I had to sit in group seating where there is a bigger table in the center. The 17" would basically take half the table, so the person sitting across from you basically won't have any space. On economy planes, it barely fits a 13" assuming the person in front doesn't push back their seats.

15" doesn't sound much smaller...but its a drastic difference. When something doesn't fit, there simply isn't anything you can do, and that is going to happen far more frequently with the 17".

It also makes your bag bulkier and more awkward, which is noticeable during commutes.

After my experience, I would probably never consider the 17" unless it was notably cheaper than the 15", and even then - probably not. 15" is probably the sweet spot for performance and 'portability'.

Not bad pulled a m17 with the same specs for 1800 out the door, albeit with a 1 tb single drive and keyboard upgrade and the 360hz screen. basically my post is worthless.

Isn't that a problem for the R5? You need to flash R4 bios, and this is R4.
