I have often found the obscure 'System Data' to balloon to 80GB and more on
our MBPs. (You can check in System Settings >General >Storage.)

It seems to be a temporary storage for all sorts of things, TM snapshots etc.,
but it isn't user manageable. I once saw it drop dramatically as I was looking
at the bar graphic :)

Another place to check is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
I think, it can contain iOS updates and device backups.
