Does the 16in really get more working real estate?

Like you can functionally fit more on the screen? Because there’s so many times I need two windows next to each other. And I need to be able to do that.

Title says it. is it worth it to get a used M1 Pro for $200 more?

I unfortunately missed out on a crazy deal last week so now I’m shopping again. With all the sales going on I can’t seem to pull the trigger on anything.

My workload is literally just having 3-6 internet tabs and excel open at the same time. At times I will also have a google meets meeting going on with the other things.

I don’t care about the speakers, the display is whatever to me because this is just a work machine. And the camera / mic are great on both. Screen size does matter though, that’s why I want 15 or 16.

So all I really care about is getting 6ish years for that workload.

With all that, is it worth going for the slightly older 16” for the extra $200?

I’m looking to buy my first Mac for working on the go. And I found a used 14in M1 Max for $1100 on FB marketplace with 32gb ram and 1tb storage.

Seems like a great deal except for the fact that the battery health is at 89%. So I’d probably have to replace the battery for $250.

Is it worth the altogether price of $1350?

Or would it be better to just go with a lower level second hand M2 pro around that price?

My workload I do accounting and bookkeeping so most of my work is done in chrome, excel, and on meetings. I’d like to dock the laptop to two 1440p screens when I’m not traveling.
