Just wondering. I mean I guess the could go forever... I mean as long as it folds up and can be lowered onto your lab with a crane, it counts right?
Me, I hope they stop at 19. I mean 21 would just be crazy.
And a side note: the new PC 17 inch notebooks like like crap.

You want ridiculously big? The PC world provides:
Meet the Xentex Voyager, with dual 13.3" LCDs, equivalent to a 20" scren:
which folds up into this "convenient" briefcase-sized monstrosity:
Weighs only 12 pounds, i.e. a 17" powerbook and a 15" powerbook put together. Costs $4995, i.e. a 17" powerbook and a 15" powerbook put together. I'm not actually sure if this thing ever came to market, or just got shown around.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple pulled out a 19" one of these days
and if they do - I'll buy it!

Samsung recently released the first commercially viable folding, double sided LCD's. they are remarkably thin and light and images are displayed on both sides of the panel. With this sort of technology, notebooks could scale to almost any size imaginable.

Battery life 545 seconds.
When using built in DVD, you can watch three average 30 second commercials before a battery charge or AC power is required.
