LOL yeah i just found out it has a 4:3 screen the other day, what a joke

Said someone with no understanding of the needs of the average tablet consumer. Sure, 16:9 is nice for watching movies, but tablets are more than just glorified digital photo frames. For the many tasks better suited to portrait orientation, 4:3 is preferable. It's also slightly more "honest" in that it provides more screen real estate for the same diagonal length: the iPad mini's 7.9-inch 4:3 screen has a area of 30 square inches, the equivalent of an 8.4-inch 16:9 display.

LOL sure, did you take that straight out of a apple ad? go tell apple its 2013, every device in the world uses 16:9 inch screen because its better.

Somebody should tell Google, Samsung and Amazon. Most of their tablets are 16:10. But I guess now we know why the 16:9 Surface is flying off the shelves so fast.
PCs started using 16:9 because it's cheaper to use the same panels used in TVs, not because it's objectively better for all PC tasks.
