If I really desperately need extra space down the line, I can buy a cheap external SSD (that will continue to be useful after this computer is gone). The reasoning for the bare minimum storage is that Apple charges an arm and a leg for extra space, and I intend this to primarily be a stopgap machine until there are higher-power Apple Silicon equipped laptops.
The configuration I got has 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (the base amount). I’ve had an M1 Mac mini for about a month now, so I thought I’d write up my experiences with it.
