I am currently working with a pc. I am looking to go with a MBP however I can only afford the 13" at the moment. In peoples honest opinions is the 13" small and are you able to see the screen or not really. I'm debating on just waiting untill i can afford the 15"(whenever that may be) or if the 13" relly isnt that bad buying that. Looking for honest opinions.

Thanks all
Rane, Support

I have glasses and the 13" is fine for me. I've been using that size for years and honestly i get a chuckle when the DJ with the 17" laptop comes up and can't find a large enough place to set it.

You can always increase the text size in your library if reading the text is a concern. I usually try to put my laptop to the side a few feet away as well and I have no regrets.

Thanks. Yea my concern is that when i expand the sp6 or djfx section theres gonna seem like theres so much on screen everything looks tiny. I mean i beatmatch my ear(very rarely look at thescreen for that) but it does help with confidence and also helps get the bpms matched faster than adjusting and waiting
