Best Computing Most Storage Mac Laptop

Best for Storage.

I needed additional storage for my Mac Laptop. As I couldn't replace the internal hard drive I purchased this and velcro'ed to the back side of the display and used the Kondor 5 right angle USB cable to connect. I had to reformat the drive to use Apple's formatting. Once done the transfer went smooth and fast. Didn't do a speed test although it was faster than a Flash Drive for not much more $$.

Second backup and use with laptop for photo storage/backup while traveling.I had to reformat to use with my Mac but that was very easy. So far it has worked flawlessly.

Best laptop I ever have.

Wish I had switched to Mac years ago. Best laptop I ever had so far. Product was well-packaged when I got it and the delivery was fast too.

Best experience with a Mac laptop since my original computer, a Mac Powerbook back in the late 1990s. Smoother, faster and a step above my current Mac Mini (16gb ram, 3+GHz, etc.). Does everything in Photoshop quickly and quietly, love the M1 chip and the Touch Bar, which I had avoided and didn't think I'd like but do. Very portable. Very cool. Very happy with my purchase. Those who bemoan the lack of connection ports should be assuaged by the many 3rd party plug-in USB C hubs on the market. They provide USB ports of every description as well as an SD card reader and an HDMI port for your monitor. These things look good and don't detract from the appearance of the computer, many of them look like they were designed to blend in with the computer, because they were.

This is the third generation of the Mac mini that I have used in my design and printing business. Apple packs a lot of computing power into a small package. It’s great to be able to re-use keyboards and monitors. Set-up is easy if you are familiar with the Mac environment. Performance is noticeably quicker than my older machines. Unfortunately, the basic operating system has expanded to include everything from grocery lists to cloud storage to location snooping. I don’t need any of these services and it took some time to turn them off and stop annoying messages. Apple should also remove Mail and Safari from the OS so they can be updated independently.

And reformatting it for my Mac was cake. I remember in the Stone Age of computing my boss got me an IBM PC-AT with a 40MB hard drive (the base unit had only 20MB -- yes, MEGAbytes), telling me, That's all the disk space you'll ever need. I must be very old.
