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.

    Do you plan to use it from relatively static locations like a desk at work, at a coffee shop, - desk or coffee table at home without feeling like you need to hook it to a monitor? 15”.

    Do you plan to use it on the go, primarily while traveling or otherwise want to be able to take it with you somewhere on a whim, or otherwise use it in more dynamic spaces in your house like from different sides of a couch, in your kitchen, sitting in the porch etc. then 13”.

    To boil it down, 15” is great for when you want to use it as a more mobile desktop computer. 13” is great for “I need to take this with me everywhere, or be able to use it anywhere without feeling like I’m ‘lugging it out’”
