[QUOTE="todditami, post: 270437, member: 20259"] I also thought an 80GB hard drive was a great size, here is my setup: I do the majority of my programming (all internet based languages) and graphic arts work on my laptop. This is just because I can pull it out any time and use it. I also can connect it to my large display in my office and use it from there. However my strategy is to keep my machine as lean as possible. I don't store a bunch of stock photography on it, only have about 250 songs on it at any given time, etc... I also use my windows box for storage of all media, and to watch movies on while I work :-) I also have an external hard drive for storage. Like I said in another post. I am surprised how LITTLE I really need on my machine and how much my previous laptop had on it that was just clutter. I can really increase my workflow with less folders and less clutter so it is very advantageous to me. Also, I love the networkability of the new Macs, it can network with window no problem, etc.. Its good to take advantage of! Thanks! -Todd [/QUOTE]
