Do not ever buy a #mac with less than 512GB of storage. #macos itself somehow takes up 27GB with #AppleIntelligence and #Siri turned OFF. If you buy the lowest storage option (256GB) that means OVER 10% of your storage is filled up with your operating system before you do anything with it. Take the 512GB option and buy an external 1TB SSD. Or, because of Apple's upgrade prices for storage, buy the 512GB option and "splurge" for one or two external 4TB SSD (cheaper than upgrading to 1TB internal)
