sorted byAlso with the sizes of todays games and programs requiring a lot of storage - I’m surprised Apple are still starting with 256gb. You can’t even fully back up your phone to it.
Guess that’s why they have a monthly chargeable cloud storage option….
If you thinking of getting a versatile MacBook, go for 512gb or more before adding ram. The IOS software can actually use the hard drive as temporary or artificial ram, though dedicated ram would be better.
I personally have the M1 air 1tb and 16gb. I can honestly say I won’t need another laptop for quite sometime. But I hope this information helps someone.
The harsh truth is that this is apple's target demographic. People who have no interest in technology but still want to own tech that would work similarly to products that would require a lot more knowledge to setup.
And no, swap memory is not the same as actual RAM. Why would you suggest taking extra storage that will wear significantly faster when using swap over just getting the RAM upgrade?
You can add more storage with tiny USB C drives if necessary.
This isn’t a windows laptop or a chrome book
Next laptop will definitely be a pro though maybe the 14” just for the mini led screen and extra power
Only problem I have with it is it’s only got 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Three years later and no change? 😬
M1 Pro is better value than this
