It's actually a perfect size. I replaced my 15" 2015 mac book pro. The new 16" is almost the same size as the old 15", if not a few millimetres smaller, but with 1" bigger display. I spent some time looking wether to buy 14" or 16". I was sceptical that 16" would be too big. But for me 16" is the way to go. No difference in size with my old mac book pro, but with bigger screen, bigger battery, better cooling, and more cores. It supports 49" external display with max resolution without problems. For me this is a sweet spot.
