My mom's PC died and she's actually considering buying my MBP. Before, she didn't care much for Apple and I let her use it to pay some bills and she said oh, this is really simple to use (it took her a while to get the pushing up on the trackpad).
So, unfortunately for me, I may be "forced" to purchase a new Mac. I thought of getting one of the new rMB but I think I may need the Pro (that's for another thread). What I'm looking at now is how much storage do I need? I currently have a 750 GB HDD of which I'm using 396 GB. Looking at the prices for a 512 GB or 1 TB drive is making me think I'd be better off getting my mom a used laptop from Craig's List.
In my Movies folder, I have 65 GB of stuff, which is, IIRC, some DVD rips I can probably get rid of. I also have 123 GB in Music, which I think is everything in my iTunes library. I can maybe move Movies to an external drive, but, it just seems so out of my hands to do something like that. I guess I'm used to keeping it with me everywhere I go, even though I rarely access them.
Is that how users should use 128 and 256 GB Macs? Keep video files either in the cloud or on a separate drive?
