What's light enough when the average user in the western hemisphere has +300gb of storage?
I'm just asking since a 512gb disk has become the standard when ordering a laptop.
- CleanCoder 1y agoThe amount of functionality an application provides should be the benchmark for the size rather than one's available disk space. I'm sitting on 20TB+ of available storage and anything over 1MB for a simple "Hello World" is excessive.
- johnisgood 1y agoWell, if we already could make something in 1 MB, why do we want to achieve the same thing with 100 MB? It is as if there is a mentality of "somehow the higher the size the better".
- kube-system 1y agoIn professional and enthusiast circles, yes, but I think you underestimate the popularity of cheap laptops. e.g. currently only 2 of the top 10 selling laptops on Amazon have >=300GB storage. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Laptop-Computers/zgbs/pc/565108/ https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-La... Cheap laptops with a Celeron, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage have been incredibly popular since that formula became popular a handful of years ago. As are base-model MacBook Airs.
