New laptop - is a 1 TB hard drive better than 500 GB?

Mockingjays

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I've seen one I like but it says the hard drive is 1 TB and I've never heard of TB. Does anyone know if this would be more or less storage than 500 GB? Would be the better one?

Many thanks in advance

1 TB is 1000 GB, so it's twice as large as 500 GB.

That's good to know. Many thanks for responding.

That's only the storage.

It's a balance of screen size, processor, RAM, operating system and other factors.

Don't get too hung up on just one aspect.
