Which Mac Book Pro to Buy! HELPPPP!

I've been going back and forth on which laptop to purchase. I'm a Youtuber and also a photographer. I'm more so lenient towards the Mac Pro 16 inch solely because of size and it's power.

However, I'm also not creating that much content at the moment. Would it be better to purchase the 13 inch, or should I go with the 16 inch?


Any and all feedback is appreciated.

  • If you do graphic and video work, you will benefit from the bigger display of the 16".
  • Some software, video editing especially, can take advantage of the 16" model's discrete graphics hardware, resulting in significant speedup.
  • The 16" is a lot heavier, you should keep that in mind if you carry it around on a daily basis.
  • YouTubers tend to focus on video and photo editing a lot in their reviews in a l'art pour l'art way, so I imagine YouTube videos would be a great source of advice in your case. For example, here's a comparison of 13" and 16" from Max Tech.
