Hi, This is my first discussion.

I plan to buy Macbook pro 15" 2017 but I'm confused about storage plan.

so question is: Between ssd 256GB+AirPort Time Capsule 2TB or ssd 512GB, which is better?

I want to use this model for about next 5 years more. Thanks for adivice.

Really depends on your use of the machine. If you're likely to be working on a lot of projects that are big in file size, you may want the 512GB. The AirPort should be seen as a backup, whilst you can use it as a NAS it's not really suitable as a professional grade wireless storage device. So if you can make do with 256GB then it'll be best to get an AirPort for backup - however the AirPort is also coming up to 5 year old technology at this stage, whilst it's still a very capable router, it is pricey for what you're getting. I've got an ASUS router here that cost me £70 (AC beam forming etc.) and can plug in a HDD into the USB3 slot and get the same thing as what AirPort offers for triple the price.

So if you need 512GB then get the 512GB, and consider 3rd party solutions for backups.
