Nowadays 15.4 inches screen size is the most popular for notebooks, because this size is balance of ideal screen size and portability for most of the users. Also manufacturers produce cheapest hardware components fit for this size, because hardware prices go up when product size gets smaller or bigger. This is the point where Toshiba Satellite A300-20P notebook focuses.

We can say 15.4 is the peak for price/performance/portability combination. Chassis of Satellite A300-20P notebook has curved edges and glossy finishes. The curves have stylish appearance.
