I bought the 14 inch 10 core with 32gb ram upgrade. Using it for coding. I am replacing my current 13 inch i7 with it. I got the 16 inch i9 but it’s pretty heavy and not so portable so I picked the smaller model to upgrade.

How much storage did you get? I am thinking of 1Tb, but aren't sure its future proof enough.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't enough–can always use external storage.

1TB has been a sweet spot for me, I know my needs will grow over time but I update every 3-4 years so I think I'll be good for at least that long. I try to keep as little as I can on my laptop itself as I have servers and a Synology for media and the like. Also the portable "SSD"s from Samsung (like the T7) are really tiny and fast. I use one with Carbon Copy Cloner to backup my machine and have something I can boot from if my hardware were to die on me.
