15" MBA too big for mobile / outside / travel use?

I have a 13" M2 MacBook Air, but sometimes I wonder the 15" MacBook Air is better due to the bigger screen. Or is it simply too big for traveling / outside.

I don't care about home use, because I have switched to PC for that.
 
I think it is. I bought an iPad 13’ and also bought a 15’’ Mac air. I find the iPad way more pleasing to use on bed.

It is mostly a desktop laptop.
 
I use a 16" MacBook Pro at home and mobile / outside / for travel. Does not feel "too big" at all.
 
I bought a M4 15” after selling my M2 13”, as for mobility I’m using the same backpack used before to carry it. It is as portable as the 13” one.

But the 15” one is more than a bigger screen, compared to 13” one. The speakers, for instance are louder, more detailed and have better lows.

I can’t state, but it seams to have a better cooling somehow.

Same. Never understood the issue here UNLESS you are a person that spends an inordinate amount of time working from an airplane tray table. I take my laptop with me on every trip I go on and it’s never once felt too cumbersome.

I take my 14" MBP everywhere I need it to go, and can't imagine a 15" Air would be that much more of a burden, if at all.
 
Too big. If you carry MBA and nothing else, then sure, it isn’t too big. But most people carry refreshments, charger, and a mouse.
