Apple only sells high-end hardware, but I wouldn't call it exorbitantly expensive.

It's even kind of a good deal if you compare it to equivalent Wintel-ware / Android (if you can even a true equivalent).

This also depends on where in the world you live.

$400 for a 2 TB SSD, $1000 for a 4 TB SSD, and $2200 for a 8 TB SSD.

The SSD space is indeed expensive, but:

- top-end SSDs from other vendors are also pricey, though probably less so than Apple

- everything else about that machine is going to be a much better deal than just the drive in isolation

Not probably less, vastly less.
