Touchback MBPs 13 vs 15

[mac-jam]

Is it just me or does the 13” tb just feel like an overall better form factor vs the 15” in terms of overall feel?

I much prefer the 13'' form factor. It does seem like the perfect package, but I suppose I am biased to my use case. I need CPU power, but not a ton of graphics power. I am a college student, so being light, fitting in my backpack easily, and ***huge*** fitting well on lecture hall fold away tables is important to me. I have some friends with a 15" and they often have to support it some other way or have it sit on the edge of the lecture tables because they are not big enough to hold the whole thing up.

With that said, I'm sure for some people, the 15 is the perfect form factor for them...

Really depends on your use. If you're a power user then the 15" is a must, not a desired form-factor. It's significantly more powerful and has the benefit of a larger screen. If it's light work, portable work, or secondary computing work then the 13" is usually ideal.

The 13 inch is a great form factor however that form factor comes with compromises in thermal design and battery size and hence limits the performance available. For many many people (me included) its the perfect little laptop for all their day to day activities.

Its you, I'm the opposite, I think the 15" form factor is better. Its basically a subjective metric, and everyone has their own opinions
