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.

I definitely suggest a MacBook Pro for its power and its ability to handle video/photo editing. For me, the 13 inch MacBook Pro is big enough for me and I can see everything clearly, however you might benefit more from having a 16 inch display since it's amazing for photo editing.

I just finished that video, and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. It was quite impressive how the 13” held up against the 16”! This definitely gave me my answer. THANK YOU!

So I was definitely considering the 16” also because of size. Realizing how well the 13” did in comparison to the 16” — it’s probably best to get the 13” if I’m going to be mobile a lot with it. Thank you so much for your help!
