Hi All,

I'm indecisive between Macbook Pro 13inch 128GB or 256GB. When I decided to get 256GB the salesperson said why spend RM849 for a larger storage which i can spend that extra money on getting an external hardisk.

I'm using this Macbook for Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and editing video and also some non heavy duty work like surfing and etc... Now i'm back to struggling should i really save that money to get a 128GB? Can it be upgraded if the getting slow (hopefully few years later)?

advise needed badly!!! cry.gif cry.gif

salesperson is most likely a young chap that couldn't afford a 256GB hence making such statement.
you'll regret getting the 128GB after awhile, my usage even without using Adobe is pretty tight for 256GB.
after all you're already spending so much, why not get something that would future proof your investment?

If u listen to salesman for making decision, u already lose.

Nowadays salesman got zero knowledge about the products. They normally will just push for the cheapest product in order to clinch the deal without considering the actual requirement of the customer.

128gb is a waste of time. 256gb is really for light usage. 512gb is for future proof.
