13" for me
1st off if you buy this device direct from WACOM you won't pay taxess, and that'll save about $150 - $200 depending on what version you purchase. Secondly, I bought both the 13 & 16 for comparison purposes utilizing WACOM's 30 day guarantee, again I bought DIRECT. Amazon's policy may be different . The short and sweet review is this, the 4k screen on the 16 compared to the qhd screen on the 13 was barely noticeable for me. The weights of the devices differ by about 2lbs and you really notice it due to how it's distributed throughout the overall size of the different devices. If you check benchmark sites you'll see that the iris 550 found in the 13 consistently outperforms the Quadro m1000m graphics card found in the more expensive 16. Throughout my use of basic programs like Clip studio, Harmony 12, and Zbrush I actually noticed faster performance on the 13". Benchmarks + Personal testing = "Fairly confident conclusion". And lastly, the increased screen real estate on the 16 is very noticeable and vastly superior to the 13 due to its 4k resolution. If you must have the biggest screen possible the 16 is the way to go. But in my opinion the 13 is the better machine overall. It's cheaper and in my experience also performs better. Also the 13 is FAR MORE PORTIBLE!!! I could barely fit the 16" in any of the bags that I own, and honestly it's borderline inconvenient depending on the place (i.e. Planes, Schools, In your lap ). In conclusion, screen size is all your getting by going with the 16". There's no performance boost or anything significant like that, but there is a decent increase in size and weight (both negatives for me). So, ask yourslef how mobile you really need or even want to be before you purchase the MOBILESTUDIO pro. For me, it's the 13".
