Greetings, I have a 4th generation iPad and am considering a replacement. My main computer is an iMac 27 and I have a Mac Mini in the entertainment system. I have recently converted all my cloud storage to iCloud, which is roughly 600 gigs. The iMac and the Mini are sync'ed with iCloud and the Mini also has a 1tb second drive as a Time Machine drive. So back to the iPad, I am leaning towards a MacBook. I tire of holding the iPad. No case I have tried comes remotely close to the stability of a laptop unless I am actively holding the iPad in my hand. I sit it on the table to browse the web while eating a meal and inevitably it falls over when I tap the screen. I realize there are plastic and metal stands, but who wants to carry one around? The different app ecosystems between IOS and OSX isn't really a factor. However, the premium for 1tb of storage (the minimum I need for everything) in a Macbook is very discouraging. The iPad has iCloud Drive, but my understanding is that there is no OSX equivalent. So, without lugging around a USB drive with the MacBook, it appears that I'm out of luck. What are other folks doing with a MacBook as their second computer when they require large storage space?
