I’m really debating between these two screen sizes.

I mostly use my computer with a monitor, but will occasionally work on it in the kitchen when it in meetings.

My current laptop is 14” and I’m not sure how much of a difference 15” really is over the 13” model.

What is your experience?

If I get the 13” I might use the savings to get a 1tb hard drive which I think is important to me.

      I was thinking about the 15” with 1tb, but it’s $400 cheaper to just get 13” with 512gb.

      I think that’s so much cheaper that it’s not worth paying so much more for the upgrades.

        I upgraded from a mid 2012 13” MBP upgraded to within an inch of its life to an m3 Air 15”. I’ve loved my old mbp for years, but the increased size of the 15” display makes it better for me. My vision continues to worsen and I’m not getting any younger. The thinness of this machine makes up for the slightly bigger bulk from the larger screen to me, at least compared to my 2012 model. And the weight is ridiculously better.

          Thanks! I put my currently 14” laptop side by side with my wife’s 13” m1 air and the screen size was so close, so I think Lenovo rounded up the screen size.

          I’ll decided to get the 13” and use the price difference to get 1tb ssd.

          I had the same idea about vision as you did, my if I take my laptop out to work, it usually to a cafe or restaurant where the space is limited, so I think I’m settled on the 13”.

          Maybe next time when my vision gets a bit worse.
