What is the optimal macbook display size for design?

Question

macbook

I will buy a macbook for office work, but I can’t decide which size will be the most optimal (macbook air 13'', or pro 13''/15''). I do UI/UX design and iOS development. I will work mainly in Sketch, PS, Xcode, and, of course, surfing and reading books. Which model is exactly enough with the head? I had no experience working with a 13" display, many say that it is quite comfortable to work, and more convenient than for 15", others say the opposite.
Can anyone suggest?

Answer 1

13" is quite comfortable. But I'm better off with 15", that's why I have this one)
But if you choose between macbook air 13'', or pro 13''/15'' models, then of course pro (I would - I took 15 ").

Answer 2

It is quite possible that over time you will somehow want to work on a normal monitor anyway, so you can pay attention to the diagonal itself only in terms of mobility - it will be convenient for you to carry 15 with you, take 15.
Between MBA and MBP it is better to choose a firmware, the price difference is not so fatal, but the retina is still good (I worked personally on both air and pro, there is a difference).
For the activities you indicated (IMHO), the extreme models of plugs (normal, not these single-port ones) should be enough.
For 13 '' it is quite comfortable to work. Although it's all subjective.

Answer 3

I agree with previous speakers about 13 "and add that experienced developers do not advise Air ("does not pull"), and if finances are limited, then it is better to take 13" Pro and, if the display size is not enough, connect an external monitor.

Answer 4

I would suggest going to a local store that sells Apple products. Ask the seller to put 13" and 15" laptops next to each other. This is to get the size right.
My preference:
For mobility - 13" Air/Pro.
For best performance - 15" Pro.
