Just thought I would pass along to anybody in the market.

I was pretty set on the 13" 2016 until today, but at this price it makes me consider losing some portability. Have an iMac, but lot of power for cheap.

How exactly would you lose some portability? It's a four-pound laptop for goodness sakes. Maybe it's time to get back to the gym??

The screen is two inches bigger, increasing the overall footprint of the computer. It'll fill more on the desk, it'll weigh more and it'll take up more space in your backpack. Furthermore, you'll lose battery life which is also a factor in portability because you might need to bring the charger with you, increasing the overall weight.
