The obvious answer to your question is "YOU don't."
If you can't imagine why people would want 120GB of storage space in a laptop, then you've got a very limited imagination. Here's an obvious example, since you mentioned a Mac...
* A PowerBook user wants to edit a video project in Final Cut Pro. 30mins of video often involves editing around 4-6 hours of footage. 5 minutes of DV footage is roughly 1GB. So, a single short-length project is going to eat about 50-70GB of space... bring on the 250GB drives!!!
* Storing 10 of your favourite DVDs on your laptop will fill most of that measly 120GB, as well.
* With most games filling a DVD these days, 5-6 games could easily claim 30GB. 25% of the dish just got filled with games!
Anyway... didn't take much wondering...
