  It’s because they launched this product with an actual reasonable amount of ram (16gb) compared to the 8gb they are still selling MacBooks with. So, if they can’t charge you $300 for a little bit of ram now, they instead are going to rape you on storage. Apple is still apple.

  Why care when we talk about desktops? Take the 512 GB model and attach a super fast and big external TB SSD.

    I think you’re confusing desktops with laptops.

    Because it’s $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I’m surprised they didn’t develop another proprietary connector.

    Because we shouldn’t have to pay such prices to upgrade to a normal storage amount without dongles and external storage.
