Hi all,
My first post here. I'm getting a little frustrated with my laptop predicament and would be grateful for any advice! Basically, I own two recent MacBooks - a MacBook Pro 13" 2015 and a 12" Space Grey MacBook 2015. However, I don't need two - it's actually rather annoying having two laptops (plus a work-issued Lenovo)!
A quick overview of my use cases: app and web development/design (Xcode, IntelliJ, Eclipse, Docker, VSCode, Sublime, MAMP, Photoshop, Sketch, InDesign, occasional Premiere/iMovie).
Battery life is about equal on both. Both laptops have their merits and constraints. These are...
MacBook Pro 13" 2015
Pros
Pros
Has anybody else been in a similar position? Any ideas?
The bottom line is... I already have an iPad so I just want ONE single laptop to be my primary machine.
Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13" 2015
Pros
- 13" display feels like the ideal size to me.
- i5 processor feels plenty fast.
- Full port selection.
- 128GB constantly full - a battle to keep enough free storage.
- Speakers are poor.
Pros
- Light and portable.
- 512GB - plenty of room.
- Lovely design.
- Excellent speakers.
- Screen feels too small (even though running at same resolution).
- Keyboard travel too shallow.
- Laptop feels too thin/light - more awkward to rest palms whilst typing.
- Only one USB-C connector.
