How's the 16 for heft and mobility?<br>
<br>
I have the 13 and it's quite dainty. It's light and easy to use pretty<br>
well anywhere.<br>
<br>
I haven't yet tried it in an airplane seat. Driver's seat of a car was<br>
annoying due to steering wheel, but passenger and back seats were fine.<br>
<br>
It's also been fine for all the desktop stuff I've done on it. Haven't<br>
gone up over a few instances of Firefox running at the same time and have<br>
kept them all under 20 tabs, so it's been pretty light for browsing.<br>
<br>
I haven't yet started putting containers or databases on it, so haven't<br>
exercised it much that way either.<br>

<br>
Yeah, extra layer of protection.<br>
<br>
I just went for 4 USB C ports and the USB C hubs I always carry with me<br>
anyway. If the network port didn't stick out I'd get one of those.<br>
<br>
