<p>Huh, this discussion brings me back to when I was a kid and had a giant desktop computer with about 1GB of hard drive space (which meant about 800MB for my and my parent’s stuff, with the OS installed). I was always having to delete some file or another in order to make room for another. Then my dad threw the computer away and when I finally got a laptop for school I never ran out of HD space (because, obviously, we keep increasing the capacity).</p>
<p>In any case, on point: I use a mac, but a macbook pro is too much. I’d go with a macbook air. I avoid PC’s after my last one exploded, and I’m a programmer and OSX’s compatibility with Linux platforms is quite useful in this regard. If I had a PC I’d dual boot with Ubuntu, but that’s not necessary with my mac.</p>
