Incredibly short sighted when they shipped so many laptops with 128GB drives even till quite recently where upgrading is almost impossible once you've been using the machine because even basic apps and a few files push you beyond the limit required to update.

Most of these laptops run at 2-4GB free space because MacOS already takes up a ton of space and throw on a few electron apps and its full.

It's not even much better with 256GB. I thought I'd be fine as I used to run Linux with 128GB and had loads of room. MacOS has been very tight with 256GB

I’m running a 256Gb mini. I have 100Gb free. That includes 25 years of carefully curated photos and videos. Depends what you do with it and how wasteful you are with storage.

I pity the people who bought one of those thinking they could install Xcode and still have room for a couple movies afterwards.
