Hello, I need your advice to choose between these 2 laptops, either a 13" M2 MacBook Air with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD or a 15" M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Note that the laptop will be used most of the time with external 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, so the screen size is not a deal-breaker choice. The laptop will be used for productivity, web and social media design (Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, Adobe Express, and productivity tools). Thanks
i hated my 15” laptop and have done exclusively 13” since. i find 15” to be really cumbersome to transport and especially as a woman (smaller backpacks) i struggle to find backpacks that fit it and adequately protect it.
When was this though? That 15” has a tiny footprint for what it is.
It was not these models admittedly, it was like 6 years ago, but i just recently purchased an M2 air and compared these in the store and still felt the same about the 15”. Maybe i’d feel differently if i was someone dealing with code or something, but I’m not.
Was it the Touch Bar/usb-c only 15 or the previous retina 15” (or the even older 15” with the disc drive)? The 15” air is about the same size as the Touch Bar 15” pro. The older retina 15” is about the same size as the current 16” (which is a lot bigger than the 15” air, a lot more so than it sounds). The unibody and older 15” is a lot bigger than anything Apple currently sells.
In most countries women are allowed to wear larger backpacks as well. Crazy, I know!
