Hey everyone! I will be starting in about a month and wanted some advice on computer preferences. I’m between the MacBook Pro 13” and 16”. Is there a noticeable difference between the 2 in terms of performance? The role is Financial Analyst, so I’m assuming a lot of my time will be spend in Google Sheets. Wasn’t sure if the performance difference is worth the extra heft of the 16”.

My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?
