I not really in a rush to buy a new laptop (just got a beautiful Clevo), only asking out of curiosity, so any size will do as long as it's not a iPad with a keyboard.

4:3 screens used to be popular but dead out years ago, replaced by so-called "wide" screens. Are there any manufacturers who still prefer the old aspect ratio these days? I know I can buy a old 2nd-hand one, but is there any option...

Your Toshiba was 15", so I'm assuming that you're going to get another. Besides, since you are not really into the computing thing, you probably won't get into the trouble of buying a used one.   Do you really need a new MS...
