256 GB or 512 GB

One other thing, get the 512 GB model and not just add

more storage on the base model. The extra 50 bucks gets

you an 8 core GPU vs. a 7 core GPU which is important

if you intend on doing any graphics. plus it is generally

an "off the shelf: item rather than waiting for a special order.

(Actually, Best Buy has them in stock and on sale for $1199

instead of $1249 which would be the price of the base

upgraded to 512 GB).

I am looking to purchase a new MacBook Air M1. Is it worth the extra money to get the 512 GB ?

Thanks

Yes, it is always worth having more storage.

Once a user buys a Mac notebook, it cannot be upgraded hardware wise.

"Stuff" accumulates to fill all available space.

Buy as much storage as you can afford. You can't increase it after purchase.
