I do this too. You'll never have buyers' remorse if you buy the one with the largest numbers, nor will you ever run out of disk space.

I tend to squeeze every penny and I have a bit of buyer's remorse for buying a refurbished MacBook 2015 with the smallest storage: 128 GB.

Everything else is great, but I'm constantly finding myself in situations where I am about to install Docker, or go-lang, or something I am experimenting with and eventually come to the conclusion...not worth it to install.

Should I fire up Garage Band? Nope, I probably will use it twice and then it will sit there taking up disk space.

I'm trying to take advantage of more "cloud" solutions but they're not the same :(

You can replace the ssd on that MacBook. It won’t be cheap, but storage that fast isn’t anyways. I have the 1tb ssd from a MacBook in my windows desktop

It won't be the same tho. The system doesn't detect it as a 'native' disc.

Do you have instructions on where to buy and how to install? Thanks!
