My mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13” with 2x1TB SSDs is still my daily machine for this very reason. My portable is a 512GB 12” 2016 MacBook. The only issues with this setup are Photos and iTunes. I have iTunes Match, but that’s useless on a plane, so there goes 100GB. If I want to watch purchased movies - that’s not so bad - I just download them and drag to an external, delete them from the MBP and whenever I want to watch a movie, I run it from the external, it uploads to iTunes and there’s the movie I want to watch. As for Photos - that’s a cluster with the 12” MB and iCloud Photos is off on that.
What really gets me though is the price difference between a 256GB iPhone XS and the 512GB iPhone XS. Why the Macs can’t have the same price difference between capacities that iPhones have is crazy. And forget backing up my iPhone to the 12” MacBook. They have the same capacity. This forces us to have to upgrade iCloud storage to either 1TB or 2TB. Apple know what they’re doing, but it sucks.
MacBook and MBP wise it should be simple like it is on say an XBox One - just connect an external and it’ll do it all for you.
