512GB seems to have been enough for me for the last ten years or so, if I need more storage than that, it goes on a different machine or cloud storage of some form. I haven't found it restrictive at all.
I had my 2013 MBP (i5/8/512) in active use until 2020 when lockdown hit and I stopped needing a laptop for a while. Now I'm on a M1/16/512 Air, and two years in I'm still very happy with it. Hopefully I'll get 7 years out of this one too.
- newaccount74 4y agoThey don't sell 128GB any more but 256GB isn't much better. Pretty much everyone apart from the most casual users is going to fill that up.
- Toutouxc 4y agoMy 256GB Air, which is my work+personal computer, shows 94 GB free. That's my whole job, my paperwork, Apple Photos library with 5 years worth of data, all my apps and personal projects, all my ebooks, memes, notes, screenshots, cached music from Spotify, everything is in there. I do have a 4 TB NAS at home, but that's backups and childhood photos, no daily-driving stuff. I don't consider myself a casual user.
- tralarpa 4y agoI have a 150GB temp directory on my laptop, and I don't consider myself a power user (no video/audio editing, no modern games, etc.). 256GB is really tiny, even for my mother who just keeps local copies of photos and documents etc. ("temp" like "stuff I occasionally need", not literally /var/tmp)
