Given the choice between a laptop sporting a 2TB HDD and one sporting a
'mere 500GB' of SSD storage, the SSD option wins hands down every time.

What about the case where you need 1 TB of storage?

External drive. Which one should have in any case IMO.


As far as I'm concerned, the value of a laptop as opposed to a desktop
is only in the laptop's portability. It's good to take with you when
you are traveling.

But also carrying an external drive makes no sense. It's heavy and
bulky.


I have two external hard drives that fit in my pocket. Not heavy or
bulky. You can get a 1.5 Tb USB drive for about $80.
