I have used a 128GB Macbook Pro for almost two years and only when I go nuts with Docker images do I approach my limit. My projects and saved content (books and images) are fine on an external drive and if I ever need one of my projects when I don’t have my external drive I can just clone the repo. Everything that you value needs to follow the 3-2-1 rule so anything that is even vaguely important can be retrieved from a cloud backup. I guess if I did not have network access it could be problematic but I have yet to be in such a scenario. Of course it would be nice for Apple to lay off the price gouging but it by no means makes the device useless. I also reinstall my OS frequently and organize my data very deliberately so that takes away a lot of the decision-making that people try to avoid when using one big hard disk. I really only want MacOS and my applications on the device.
