Yeah, determine what model your MBP is and just search 'Macbook Pro early-2013 SSD replacement' for example and there'll be plenty of guides to help you through it. I have a mid-2012 that I've spruced up a few times and it flies. You'll save yourself mad wedge too.
If your MBP currently has a HD inside, upgrade that to an SSD. They're not too pricey now and I dunno if you'd need additional external storage. Though you're better off scrapping the old HD regardless (rather than still using it for external storage) and investing in an additional external SSD if you still need more storage.

i upgraded the HD to SSD in my mid 2012 macbook and it still works great now, i also ripped out the CD drive and added a second internal drive. will upgrade it to a new macbook at some point - just super annoying now you cant upgrade storage yourself…

If you take shitloads of pics with your phone and edit them then yes. Otherwise get the regular 12 and buy some sexy ass perfume shit.

Think I'm going to order the Pro Max.
Seems worth it for the better camera but wish they did the same camera in a smaller model.
