depending on apps, size vary. have adobe, office , osx , other mandatory apps 3gb iphoto library , push 30 gigs. if don't have adobe , of stuff expect around 10-15.

plenty of space. ssd worth it, won't go platter drive. advise intel 3rd party drive , not buy upgraded ssd option apple. faster, , handle better. small spike in battery life (i got 20mins upgrading ssd). upgrade painless , there plethora of youtube videos illustrating process.

if ssd, make sure update latest firmware (an easy process dictated on intel's site).
