It really depends on how the laptop is intended to be used. To me, 15” is the biggest a device can be while still being easily portable. It’ll still fit into most backpacks, and there are many models out there that aren’t too heavy. I have a 14” laptop and feel it’s the perfect size for me – a balance between a good amount of screen real estate, yet easily portable since I take it on the go all of the time. A 17” laptop provides an excellent screen size for multi-tasking, but you lose portability. A device that size will be heavy, and will not easily fit into a backpack. If the laptop will be sitting on a desk most of the time, I’d go for the 17”. If you want to take it with you out of the house, or even from room to room, seriously consider a 15”.
