I went with 14" exactly because of portability. And you are so right, after sitting a the desk all day for a 9-5, the last thing I want is to keep sitting at that same desk for another 5-6 hours of editing, so I take it to a couch or something.

But also, you said: if you are not planning on moving it much and it will be at your desk all the time, then go with 16". Well if my laptop is at my desk, I will hook it up to a screen 100%, for more screen real estate. So then whats the point of having a 16" at your desk, if it will be hooked up to a monitor? I decided - I can always make a 14" be bigger via a monitor, but I cannot make a 16" smaller for travel.. So 14" it is!

"... and I cannot lie" 😂🤣I completely agree. The 16 is amazing to use and I love it - but that 14 is probably the sweet spot for most users!

I went with the 16. I love a bigger screen, plus better speakers, i bring my 16 to work everyday and don"t feel its too big and heavy.

Great video. I've litterally watch over 20-30 videos on this topic of the new MacBook pro choices. You've nailed it. You deserve an award!

[drty]

14” for me, previous MBP was the 2018 15” version. As a General Contractor I’m constantly on the move. 14” hits the sweet spot

[belovedLion]

16” was my sweet spot! Don’t plan on traveling much with it. The 14” was super tempting, ya dig. But the price wasn’t that much more.

[bmmomin]

I think you get used to either size without missing the other. I am switching to 16 for the speaker sound quality and screen real estate at the cost of portability. However you also get better battery life with 16".

I had the MacBook Air and couldn’t stand how small it was for editing video, so I got rid out of it and have been waiting forever for the 16” to arrive. I use my 12.9” iPad Pro for portability when traveling, but I don’t mind lugging a 16”. I had a 17” in college and it was fine. I typically travel with a backpack, so the 16” will be fine

I have always preferred smaller laptops but for the very first time I am considering the 16". Yes, it has more area for editing etc. but the main reason is because I watch lot of films/videos and with that big HDR screen and speakers it would make a great viewing device when I'm not around a TV.

I'm going for the 16, I've worked on smaller screen laptops at my job and I always find myself inhibited by the screen real estate. I currently have a 18" MSI gaming laptop and its a beast to take with me. So going from this behemoth to a 16" macbook pro will not be an issue. Great video, appreciate your point of view!

I really really wanted the 14, completely intended to get it, but then I found a 16 in stock and, being as impatient as I am, went for it. As I get older, my eyes are not what they used to be (TBH they were never that great haha) and I definitely appreciate the larger screen of the 16. I lose some of the real estate because I increased the zoom a level from the default. Don't get me wrong, I would love the 14 for the portability, but I'm happy I got the 16 and don't regret it.

My current machine is 16” MacBook Pro 2019. I only move it from room to room on one level. I love the extra space to rest my hands as I use the keyboard. The new 16” has an amazing larger screen which will be helpful in my work in design. It is so comfortable whether I am sitting at a desk, curled up on the couch, everywhere. The 14” looks amazing as well. I ordered the new 16”, taking a real hit on my old 16”, I’m mov’in on.

About 1.5 years into my M1 Pro 14" MBP, I'm wishing that I had gotten the 16" instead. My next machine will probably be the larger size, because while I like the portability, even when I'm on the go I need more of a workstation. Changing the scaling to the smallest option has definitely helped.

[frizsld]

Real talk, I was able to use the 14inch anywhere I want and not feel fatigue like I always get with the dell xps15. I can't imagine using the 16 inch the way I be using the 14 on couch, bed, bathroom, standing up, etc. You just can't do that comfortably with the 16, xps15 was already uncomfortable to use on my couch and I fatigue a lot quicker. Experience is much better for the 14 and do not regret getting the 14 inch. So glad I didn't go with the 16 due to my experience with Dell xps 15.

I been back and forth and finally settled for 16. Tried them both in the store and I don't travel alot like that just from school and internships where I'm on a desk alot anyway. Coming from a 13 I'm looking forward to it

[jeromescott]

I went with the 16”. My work computer is a 14” screen and for me that’s too small to do any type of multi tasking on. If I need something portable I use my iPad Pro. But the screen and speakers on the 16” are awesome! In college I used the 15.4” and didn’t find it too big for carrying in my backpack and around campus. The only instance where I would get the 14” is if I was using it on planes a lot, the 16” is a no go on those tray tables!

[galileo]

"I'll just frickin dock it." Lol.

[davidaltizer]

I just don't know! I have the 16" right now.. thinking of returning it and going down to 14"..The 16 is certainly massive.

[scapevelocity]

I ordered a 16" right after the announcement. Then as more and more videos came out, I started to question both the size and my particular configuration. Did I really need the M1 MAX? Would I get benefit from 24 graphics cores. So I went to the Apple Store, looked at and lifted both models and realized I'd overbought. Cancelled my 16" order and ordered a 14" instead. Still 32GB memory, still 1TB SSD, but an M1 PRO with 16 graphics cores. It'll be more than enough for my photographic work.
