I've just bought a refurbished Macbook pro from apple, 15", after the back light for the screen finally went in my 11-year-old macbook.
It's a brilliant computer in every respect - except the onboard storage. I haven't bought a new computer for about 10 years. Now the time has finally come, I'm half regretting my decision and want to get a 512gb one. I could go and get another one within 14 days, but it's like 200 quid more because the processor on the next one up is slightly faster, you are paying for SSD instead of HDD, and apple charges more.
I mean, I could live with it with everything on my external HDD I suppose, but I can't be bothered taking that with me everywhere. That's the point of a laptop isn't it? Plus, I'll probably have this for the next 10 years sooo.....when programs start getting bigger, what do I do then? What do you all think?
I don't want anyone going on about getting PCs over apple etc - this is just a question about storage.
Cheers
