How can you possibly say that without knowing how someone uses their computer? For me, I have to do constant housekeeping to maintain a reasonable amount of free space on my 512gb SSD
as I wrote: when people do not use it for storing tens of thousands of pictures and songs or movies: 512 is overkill.
he had the 128GB in the first place with 50GB free and does surfing, word processing and kids schoolwork. So even the air from 2008 should be fine for that
kidding, but this laptop is CPU and storage wise overkill for his use. Of course more is better. But than this whole thread makes no sense at all when even for the very basic task everybody buys a maxed out machine.
i have 20.000 pics and a VM with 60GB on my 2012 air with the OWC SSD i upgraded to 240GB 2 years ago. Doing CAD design and light photoshop with the basic CPU.
I would still recommend a refurbished 2016 rMB 1.1, 256GB u can now get for $1099.
or Maybe a basic air for the same price if u can life with this ancient small screen. But don't waste so much money
