Guys, will 512GB SSD be enough? I’m choosing between buying M2 Pro 1TB and M3 Pro 512GB. The 1TB version is not available rn where I live and nobody knows when it will be. From what I’ve seen, M3 Pro is really better in battery department, which is exactly what I need, plus it have 2 additional GBs of RAM and all other small bonuses.

My work now is online business management, but with new laptop I want to try video/photo editing. Basically it will be editing for personal use or some for YouTube uploads, not some films or weddings. Right now on my windows laptop I have ≈700gb hard drive, 370gb is occupied (realistically 100gb is steam library, which will be not even available on mac and other 50-100gb is very old media or trash).

The last concern is that I’ve heard the bigger the amount of memory is free - the faster will be swap, and if you don’t leave at least a few hundred GBs free - your mac will be lagging. Considering this, the base configuration is definitely not enough. But idk if its true, this will be my first macbook.
