[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1946245, member: 204485"] I have an M1 Pro 14" MBP 512GB 16GB RAM, it has never balked at any task including running very demanding games like the Windows version of Borderlands 3 on Steam via CrossOver. This is probably why there aren't many refurbs of that model available. With it's 14" screen, 5 ports + card reader, dual fans, MagSafe 3 charging and general portability it is a great device but I regret not going for 1TB. The above mentioned game is almost 100GB. That's the trend these days, apps are bigger and demand more resources. So, earlier this year my wife got a new M3 16" MBA 1TB 16GB. Like the old saying it just works, no matter what my wife throws at it, multiple apps, browsers, tabs, background extensions ect, it just sails along unperturbed. This is probably one of the best laptops Apple have ever made and the choice of 1TB of storage was a good one. My wife has many audio files and a huge photo library bearing in mind what Randy said in his post #3, "the larger your internal hard drive, the longer that your new Mac will last" unlike myself my wife no longer needs to juggle storage. So, the old adage, "always buy the biggest and best you can afford" holds true, especially if you hope to get 10 years out of it. [/QUOTE]
