The truth is, an internal storage of 256 gigabytes will be sufficient for a college student who isn’t thinking of having lots of unwanted files and applications. Like music or video games stored locally and cannot be simple to off-load to a backup drive or cloud.
How many GB does a college student need?
512GB is a good minimum to see you through four years of photos, assignments and programs — if you often create or work on large files, you may want to spring for 1TB (or get an external hard drive).
Is 256 GB a lot for a laptop?
The reality is that 256GB of internal storage is probably going to be plenty enough for most people who don’t already have (or anticipate having) a ton of locally stored photos, video, video games, or music that can’t either be easily offloaded into the cloud, or to a backup drive.
