Age related long-sightedness is one of the most annoying things. You can see far away sort of OK, but you can't read your phone or something printed in small letters right under your nose. You also realize how this is an invisible and largely ignored problem by the fact that packaging designers (and most designers in general) don't care about you at all.
It only gets worse as you age but you are of course reluctant about "upgrading" your glasses because you know they only make it worse and there's no going back from each upgrade.
As for laptops, I do prefer 16" since I move cities and countries a lot, can't afford moving a desk monitor with me.
