<p>I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm getting the 15' macbook pro. I want to run bootcamp, but my question is how big of a hard drive do I need and how much space should I dedicate to the windows OS? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>It depends on your media usage: Movies, Photos, Music, Video games</p>
<p>I had no issues with 256g hard drive but I don’t keep many media items on my PC.</p>
<p>I don’t think you want to put more than ~80g on windows unless you plan on using it a lot.</p>
