Should I get a MBA 11 or 13 inch?

getting mac first time, , have seen both. main concern 11 inch might small me, when saw it, seemed fine, after working few hours on might strain eyes. i'm going using watch movies, microsoft word, , surfing. little xcode (will screen crowded 11 inch?). won't have other laptop/computer going main computer, , i'm college student, barely use laptop/computer schoolwork, entertainment purposes, , little programming. think best, 11 or 13 inch?

, how volume/sound quality on macbook air? decent enough watch movies?

also, how 11 inch work websites , netflix due it's non conventional resolution, normal?

i have used both models , comes down preference. portability of 11 inch model. not 13 isn't portable, 13 has bigger footprint 13 inch retina macbook pro.

if going watching lot of videos , movies, 16x9 aspect on 11 inch better in opinion. if did not feel cramped in playing around 11, should fine it.

13 give longer battery life , sd card slot. if thing important you, may better choice.

11 vs 13 age old question , depends on user better needs.
