    Probably a really stupid question....how to see what is in the "other" storage?

    Was looking at how much storage is being used on my base M1 MBA, and there is a section in the storage graph listed as "other", how do I find out what that is? Clicking on manage, then shows me this, but it can't be clicked on to do anything with it?

    SSD differences 2013, 2015, 2017

    Hi, are there any differences between the ssd in a 2015 MBA and a 2017 MBA? In my opinion, they should be the same. But I found an offer on eBay, who offers an a new SSD for the mid 2013 - 2015 Model. The ssd does only have unter 100 Hours of working time.

    MBA 2020 i5 512 GB SSD vs Base MBP 2020 i5 256 SSD

    As the title suggests, since these two are the same price, would it be a better choice to get the MBA 2020 with 512 SSD storage and 10th gen i5 vs the 8th gen i5 on the base model MBP with 256 SSD that has better screen and cooling mechanism? What would you do?
