if you need more than the pitiful storage these come with then yes lol. laptops especially should have a bare minimum of a TB. they did in the HDD days. they sure should now.

I bought the 24GB/1TB M4-Pro MBP for $300 off from Best Buy (2,099) last Black Friday. They haven’t been on that deep of a sale since. Agree that 1TB should be the minimum now.

I got a base m3 mini as a stop gap machine and since its a desktop I can easily have external drives hanging off it for storage so I keep all my files on those but I've somehow still filled its internal 256 with just apps and whatever other junk builds up over time in less than a year. now if adobe needs to use it as a scratch disc or something it all locks up. its An amazingly capable machine if it weren't for the storage issue. I had a similar problem on my old work machine which had 512 inside. it filled up with nonsense and scratch disc became an issue. 1tb is def the sweet spot to at least keep things working.

I have a M2 Air with 512 GB that’s only a little over half full. Dunno that everyone needs 1 TB minimum.

M2 Mac Air here with 256gig, using 204. Heck, my iMessages take up 21GB.

This is my work computer and we mainly use AWS/S3/Databricks and standard MS stuff (SharePoint, OneDrive, et al).

Is it really much of a sale if they're selling it at $799 most of the time?

Right? Their products used to never go on sale. I think they're just delusional about how many people are OK with 256GB storage so they continue to manufacture too many base models - these sales rarely involve upgraded configurations.

If Apple iCloud for files were more robust, most of us would be fine with 256-512...however I've occasionally run into issues with Apple iCloud file management across devices.

I'd trust it a lot more if I had only ONE device/MacBook, I hate to say.

My biggest issue is Messages. Messages uses 190gb in my iCloud, and like 125gb on my Mac Mini which has Messages enabled — I disable it on my 256gb MacBook because it fills up the drive.

I know I can dig into the Messages files in Finder and delete individual attachments, but will that mess with Messages in the cloud? Will it delete the whole attachment in the cloud?

Meanwhile, the “top conversations” feature is terrible:
  1. Chances are, these top conversations are among the most important, so why would we want to delete years-worth of messages with our closest friends and family?
  2. My top conversations total in iCloud is 37gb — so where is the remaining 153gb? My smallest “top conversation” is 300mb. Surely it’s not smaller conversations using all of that space.
But yeah I’m with you. I don’t trust it completely. It would be great to be able to view all data in iCloud in a Finder or Files-like interface. Plus the ability to export conversations.

if you're just looking for a laptop to browse the web, message, do basic tasks etc, these really are great for that. I have an m2 and while its pretty basic, it does everything I want it to with ease. I'd much rather have this than an $800/$1000 ipad

I sync to mine, but I have them auto-delete after 30 days. I don't hoard my messages, and only archive individually if I need or want to.

As for this thread, I have a 1tb drive and have used 852gb. I don't use cloud storage, and only use externals for backup. It's my only personal computer.
