I had forgotten how much smaller the 13” screen is to the 16” lol. Really good screen and product, just with all the hype and me wanting one, totally forgot to compute that it was going to be a much smaller screen.

I have the 16gb ram variant and I can tell you, it is SO much snappier than the mbp16

Did the same, was unhappy with the 16inch and how flaky it was with T2.

Returned it and went with 13inch, miss the real-estate but wow, it's a pocket rocket this thing.

I don't miss the weight and size of my 16" MBP. I use mine mostly with a 21" LG 4K monitor, so never really needed 16". Plus, after having an M1, the 16" was a slow tank!

Same here, I've always had larger laptops but this time I've a 13" MBP arriving tomorrow and a 34" wide screen monitor arriving on Saturday.

Irrespective of make, the price difference between 13" and 15/16" laptop of same spec will buy you a decent external monitor and you've the best of both worlds.

Yeah im going to buy a 32” 4K monitor tomorrow. Like you say, best of both worlds then. So glad I moved to M1 though. It absolutely flies and the battery life is insane.
