Just for reference, the 14 is not actually much bigger than the 13" at all. It's the reduction in bezels around the screen that does it

This is good to know. I probably need to take a trip to the store and compare for myself then. I didn't realize it was basically the same physical size as the older 13" models.

I tried comparing at the store and the overwhelmingness of it all makes it hard somehow. I don’t know if it’s that the tables are so big that the computers look small, the lights, or the fact that you have like 30 screens next to each other. When I compared the 13 to the 14 it didn’t seem worth it for the size difference. However I bought a 14 because I wanted the good screen. To me it’s worth it. I have a 27 IPS 1440p 144hz monitor and I find myself wanting to use the MacBook on its own more just because of how crisp the text is and how black the blacks are.

For portability I fit it in a small tomtoc shoulder/messenger bag that is made for the 13 and I don’t even feel it.
