I’m currently facing a dilemma about whether to choose the 13.6” or 15” MacBook Air (MBA). Recently, I sold my M4 Mac Mini since I find that an MBA aligns better with my needs. It allows me the flexibility to work at my desk connected to a 27” Dell 4K monitor, or comfortably from my sofa when I prefer to relax while working. I also have a 13” M4 iPad Pro that I’ve recently acquired and have been enjoying.
However, it’s not as practical for work tasks like emails, Microsoft Word, Excel, and the Adobe Suite as I hoped it would be. Despite this, I’ll keep the iPad, as it’s excellent for reading e-books and magazines, as well as casual gaming. I’m considering a configuration of 24GB RAM and 512GB storage in either Sky Blue or Silver for the MBA, but I’m torn between the two sizes. The 13.6” model appeals to me because I can use it in clamshell mode when connected to my monitor.
On the other hand, the larger 15” screen would provide more workspace while still being portable enough for use on the sofa. If you have experience with both sizes, I would appreciate your insights. Which model did you choose, and how has your experience been? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly valued as I navigate this decision.
