Size comparison of my 16” pro vs. 14”

My 16" Macbook pro (2019 Model), is Space Gray. I'm assuming the AR rendering is silver.
Any idea if this one is Space Gray or silver? I'm trying to decide if I should have went with Silver or not (ordered space Gray).
I’ve gone for silver this time for a change - I got an iPad Pro in silver after years of everything being space grey and it’s a really nice change. Looks quite fresh.
It does look like it’s a nice upgrade screen-wise on the 13” while remaining very portable.
That's actually a great question. I just snagged it from the front page so don't have a clue honestly - I would think Space Gray, but it's hard to tell because of the lighting.
I futzed with the white balance and get this. Still would call it more SG than silver.

Yeah, I'd say Space Gray for sure. This photo has gotten me even more excited about receiving it! I hope my shipping time improves!
This was a really tough decision for me. I really love the 14” size - however, I work directly on my MBP screen and ultimately chose the 16”.
Could I work on a 14”? Yes, sure. But I do think 16” will serve me slightly better, even if mobility is a bit worse.

I also went back and forth between sizes, but ultimately I considered the thermals, which seem to be improved in the 16” model. The high-performance mode will be available only on the 16, not on the 14. Since I just need to travel twice per month, I think the trade off with extra weight is well worth it to go with the 16
Coming from MBA 13" -> MBP 13" -> now 2021 MBP 16". Yes 16" is 1.5 lb heavier. This will serve multi-purpose as a workhorse laptop to do my programming work as well as a workout machine 
At home office I have dual 32" monitors, but when I am on the go the 13" screen is too hard to work with on the train commute. BTW, I'll keep my 13" MBP as a back up for air travel etc as it is still working great after 6+ years.

I want to see both devices before deciding but I suspect the 14" is the one I'll go for as I normally use my laptop with a 34" external monitor at home. Plus it's a pretty big price hike over the 14" to upgrade to the 16".
It makes me feel better about going from 13" to 16"!Thank you for sharing! This makes me feel better about my decision to downsize from my current 16" MBP.
Missing the 2” will be your decision only, but the difference is obvious even without the picture. 2” less is 2” less.
Again, it's not just the physical size, it's the resolution difference too. But yes at the end of the day, 2" is 2".
I mean, who else’s decision would it be? Everyone has their own needs and unless you’re paying for my computer, I don’t really care what you think?
Right? No one has actually seen these in person, but everyone seems to already be an expert on the color.
I felt solid on the 14" on Monday when I ordered. But now...
Does anyone know what the scaled usable resolution is of the 14” to compare to current desktop real estate of the 13.3 inch models?
