Wanted: MacBook Pro with 18.2" Display

[sherwinzadeh]

I find it harder and harder to do any pro work on my current 16.2" MacBook Pro. As a developer, Xcode now has a preview window to the side of your code. Using AI workflows on ComfyUI, you need to zoom and scroll constantly. I'm sure the larger size would be greatly welcomed by video editors. I was a previous 17" MacBook Pro user and I while I'm happy they brought the 16", I think it's still not enough, especially today.

Smart move would be to buy an external monitor

I have a Studio Display at my home office, which is great, but I'm often out and about (hence the laptop).

You can move preview it to the right side... Change Layout (right corner of workspace second last option) to "Canvas on Right"or a portable LCD

I agree. I’d buy it. Bringing or having an external display is not always an option or practical when travelling or on the move. The 17” MBP should have gone up in size, not down to 16”

I actually have the Vision Pro but find it uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.
