256 GB is an insult to everyone. And most people don't store all their data in cLoUd, just some minor, select stuff - that is why absolutely everyone has GBs of free storage from so many vendors. If most used the cloud heavily, those whole thing will collapse in an afternoon.

You don't get to speak for everyone. Especially if you are not aware of the many people who are just fine with working in even more "constrained" environments like Chromebooks.

[sto_hristo]

Neither do you, special guy. For the many people that are just fine with a Choromebook, make a MacChromebook. But market BS like 256 GB as pro and put it a ridiculous price tag - that is just plain nonsense.

This is a “Pro” machine though. It’s the exact opposite market, not for people who can fit on a Chromebook.

Rationalize however you want for yourself - pros that choose to use Apple products are already generally aware of how their hardware money grab works.

Pretty much any pro - in audio/video at least - is not going to be using the built-in drive for projects. Even 2TB doesn’t cut it. So pros are using external storage anyway.

If you looked at where it fits in the lineup, you would understand that it is not meant to fit in to the market you are trying to put it in.
