256GB is now the default storage option for the new 2020 M1 range of Apple Macs. Previously, it was 128GB which was ridiculous (I mean come on Apple). In this video I show you exactly what I have on my personal 256GB base model MacBook Air, and why you likely only need the same amount of storage too.

An external SSD is a great investment and can instantly double or quadruple your storage for like 1/3 of the price Apple charges.
