Earlier this year I did a clean of the laptop to get rid of clutter and built up cache junk etc. its an old-ish W10 and I got about 10GB of extra space on the C drive. I try keeping as much as possible in the D Drive to leave the C to run the laptop and not get filled up. I have two external hard drives for backing up. I am probably going to update the laptop later this year as the battery is ageing and extended W10 upgrades will stop.
Do I go Apple or Windows? Undecided at the moment.
We have two Macbook Pro laptops in the house at the moment. Neither of them are mine and when I need to do something on them it drives me nuts. I do not argue that the quality of the systems is good but the OS seems to largely decide where it wants to put files and with what they should be opened etc. In other words the system seems to be designed for people who don't want to think much about organisation of their files and so on. There are some advantages for those who also have an Apple phone with some synchronisation across Apple devices.
Personally I do not like being "locked in" to the one hardware and OS provider and prefer to more open world of windows and Android. I have also played with Linux, some versions of which are truly excellent.
My current Desktop and laptop are both Asus. I have found the quality to be excellent and I particularly like the laptop which has an excellent screen, touch screen (great on a laptop) and a fingerprint sensor on the power button.
Current version of my laptop in the UK would be
