+Warwagon MVC Posted February 20, 2014 MVC Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was just looking around at some Windows 8 tablets. The one thing I like the most about my iPad is the 4:3 aspect. Sure 16:9 by is MUCH better for watching movies and maybe for snapping stuff to the side of the screen, but I really like 4:3. So my question to you is, if someone made a 4:3 Windows 8 tablet (and it looks like nobody does) would you buy one? As far as laptops go I did buy on eBay the very last 4:3 laptop ever made :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not saying they shouldn't make them as obviously there's going to be some who do like it, but nah, not for me. Last 4:3 anything I bought was years ago, no desire to lose usable screen space, never mind the poor multimedia presentation. Even my junk XP tablet from almost a decade ago was widescreen, never once wished it had a 4:3 display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Method Man Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Probably not. The only time I think I would prefer 4:3 is in portrait mode, which I would only use for reading ebooks, which I can do just fine on my Kindle already. No need for a full feature tablet just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 A 4:3 Windows tablet wouldn't be capable of using many of the best features in Windows 8 including the split screen multitasking. That, IMO, would make it useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 2004 called. It wants its aspect ratio back. I can't see myself going anywhere near 4:3 ever again. DJGM 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Tosie Veteran Posted February 20, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2014 Probably not. It would severely cripple multitasking. I also prefer media (movies and games) at 16:9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted October 17, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted October 17, 2014 HOLY Thread resurrection batman ... Well its my thread, so :p People thought, 4:3 was not good for anything and obsolete, yet Google and Apple are both using it :) Might have to get myself a Nexus 9.
