256 ssd, it is not enough even for basic use, why they offer it?
Apple are the upsell experts.Quote:

Recently they've started soldering SSDs as well because using proprietary SSD connectors wasn't enough for their greed and some third parties made adapters.
To make the entry cost lower to help justify the CPU swap?Quote:

256 GB is plenty of storage - if you're using netflix or similar for films and not installing AAA games, then most people just don't need all that much
If the specs and price is true then it'll be a great laptop - maybe this'll be the device that makes everyone else start putting effort into windows on ARM?
