There's 8 Mac configurations for the Neo alone (4 colors by 2 storage options).

The Air has 24234 (maybe not precisely, I'm not going to go through all the permutations) = 192 configurations.

I'm not going to try to go through the MBP, Studio, or Pro, but realistically you're looking at a few thousand configurations, not 30.

I expressed that poorly. I mean the internal components.

The MacBook Neo has 2 configuations. The MacBook Pro has several, but the SOC funnels those configurations into a few paths and segments the market. You can't get a "base" MacBook Pro with 128GB of ram or a large SSD. Dell will sell whatever the components allow you to do, usually only limited by the hardware.
