I have a 13 inch and I just got a 15 inch MacBook Pro. The 13 inch is by far much easier to travel with, but I like larger 15 inch MacBook for the screen size.

I have a 13 inch and I just got a 15 inch MacBook Pro. The 13 inch is by far much easier to travel with, but I like larger 15 inch MacBook for the screen size. I can open a bunch of iTerm windows and resize them to fit nicely. I did want the 16 GB and I thought I would run virtualbox but I ended up just using homebrew to install PostgreSQL etc. I am trying to figure out a laptop case that is weather proof and easy to travel with as either a shoulder bag or soft briefcase. Given the changes in the MacBook Pro over the years, its not always clear which case will fit which model.
