Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to knock the 16" MacBook Pro. But when we look across the industry, is 15.4" still the gold standard? Meaning the most common size for larger laptops?

i bought the 16" and the resolution was way too big for me (as in too great with too much space,if u will).text and elements were so small ,even more so given the fact that the distance between eyes and screen is greater on a big laptop (bigger distance than the mbp 14 for example)

i realize it's silly but it's one of the main reasons why i returned it (i do regret it hard tho...)

but then i'm one of those dudes whose monitor is 27" 4k scaled at 1920*1080 lol

i'm hoping the upcoming 15 will have a better res ,as in lot of elements and space but still big enough text,something as viable as the mba m1 or mbp 14 at least . i know better res is subjective ofc,i know people who use smallest scaling possible even on 13" screens .not sure my expectations are any silly .

btw if u work with dual windows ,nay more than 2 , the 16 is defo better
