You can use a ruler as an alternative to the tape measure. If you’re looking for more screen space, try connecting your laptop to a monitor. Or, you can always hook it up to a projector.
Warning: Make sure not to scratch your screen with the tape measure. You can hold the tape measure a couple centimeters away from the screen while measuring. Screens were originally measured diagonally to make the size sound more impressive.
For example, if you measure your screen as 14 and 4/16th inches, divide 4 by 16 to get 0. 25 inches. Add that to 14 for a total of 14. 25 inches.
For example, a 13. 3 inch screen is 33. 8 centimeters (13. 3 x 2. 54 = 33. 782).
For example, a 1. 5 inch tall laptop is 3. 8 centimeters (1. 5 x 2. 54 = 3. 81).
For example, a 14 inch wide laptop is 35. 6 centimeters (14 x 2. 54 = 35. 56).
For example, a 12 inch deep laptop is 30. 5 centimeters (12 x 2. 54 = 30. 48).
