I just bought a 15 inch macbook pro, it’s great! It does feel a little big though… I’m majoring in Information technology so i’ll do a little programming with it, but other than that just standard college stuff. I’m having weird second thoughts though. I didn’t get the 13 inch because i thought it would be too small.

My question: Is the 15 inch going to fit on my desk in classes? Will I regret buying it? Am I better off with a 13 inch laptop and external monitor for my dorm? i plan on taking my laptop most places with me, so portability is important, but i do like the extra 2 inches. is the 13 inch a lot easier to move around/a better choice? I just don’t want to be stuck with a small computer for 4 years. I was thinking most students get 15 inchers anyway, but i could be wrong. Any insight? thanks!
