I dunno.
At work we had Toshiba Librettos (5in) for the road warrior powerpoint rangers.
Then we moved to the very First (purple) Sony Vaios.
For that matter, the earliest suitcase portable PCs ran 5in-9in CRT screens.
Corporate types are flexible folks, when it comes to PCs. :-)

The old Windows desktop may be suboptimal for smaller screens but the apps themselves are perfectly usable. Don't forget, Windows has adjustable screen metrics. Setting the screen metrics to 150 dpi should render pretty much every legacy app perfectly usable.
