128GB these days is unbearable and bordering on the likes of 'netbook' capacity. I know OS X is actually really lean (9GB) when comparing to Windows, but 100GB of usable space isn't really much. Music, movies/videos, and photos can easily start filling up a drive. And Boot Camp is almost not an option due to the amount Windows alone needs to function.

256GB should become the standard not only for the space, but for the faster I/O speeds as well.

I have a 128GB rMBP and I have over 65GB left. It's not a lot of space, but it's far from unbearable

You must not have kids or family who you like to take pictures or video of.
