17.3 not actually 17.3?
Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a gaming laptop that measures 17.3 inches, but my current one is listed as 17.3 inches while being 16.5 inches. How can I check the actual size of laptops online without seeing them in person? It's tricky to judge the screen size just from the bezels, but it's important to know if it's really 17.3 instead of something like 16.5. Any advice or tips would be great.
The measurements were swapped; laptops aren't sorted by their actual size but by the diagonal of their screens. A 17-inch model with a wide bezel will match in screen size to one with a narrower bezel. To find the real physical length, you need to look at the exact dimensions, as they differ from one laptop to another.
Most websites should display that information in the specifications section.
