I’m really debating between these two screen sizes.

I mostly use my computer with a monitor, but will occasionally work on it in the kitchen when it in meetings.

My current laptop is 14” and I’m not sure how much of a difference 15” really is over the 13” model.

What is your experience?

If I get the 13” I might use the savings to get a 1tb hard drive which I think is important to me.

    Size matters. A bigger screen is a big quality of life improvement for both work and content consumption.

    On the other hand, a smaller and lighter laptop is more comfortable to use and carry. Personally i think 13" is the ideal laptop size. If you want to use it more as a desktop replacement, you can always plug in a monitor.

      @NIB @neon_nova a lot depends on where and when you work. 13 inch is the ideal size if you have to work at the backseat of a taxi or in a plane.
      Once home or at the office, you simply connect your 27 inch screen to the 13 inch machine. For me this has been the ideal set up for over two decennia.

      Lately, I’ve been working with the X-Real glasses. Works fabulous if you are in the backseat and you don’t want to disturb your driver with a bright screen.
