A 15-inch laptop serves as a good middle ground for those who don’t want a large 17-inch laptop or settle for a more compact 13-inch laptop. It’s ideal for gaming and productivity, and also for casual use. Getting a 15-inch laptop also means it won’t be as portable as the compact ones. But brands these days focus on offering lightweight laptops even for screens as big as 15 inches. Sure these laptops won’t be as easy to carry as the 13-inch or 14-inch ones but are definitely lightweight.
