15" seems too big

[johnnyturbouk]

I just got a MBP 15" this morning and after the first few minutes it seems too big. I'll probably use it for a few days and if it's too big than I'll return it and buy a 13". I was wondering if any first time 15" purchasers had a similar experience? Thanks.

nope, thought it was too small and got a 17" MBP '11

I already told you. The MBP13 is just a tad heavier. Yet it is faster, has more hdd capacity and its cheaper. Why would you get a MBA when its just a notch lighter. Might as well get an ipad if you are going all out.

I'm sorry, I forgot that you "already told me" what my opinion is. Maybe to you a laptop that is 34% lighter and 28% thinner (at its thickest point) than it's alternative isn't worth the extra money, but to others it is. As for your speed argument, a HDD versus a SSD makes the largest speed difference for most users. A 13" MBP with a SSD is at least $1,449. A 13" MBA is $1,299. I guess if you want a computer with a slow hard drive and a low-res screen you could buy a baseline 13" MBP. But hey, that's just me.

I came in here just to say that as well

I was kind of debating whether to go for 13 or 15 mbp. After reading the comments here, I think I am leaning toward 15 now.
