    If you like to actually do your computing locally, it sucks. If you’re using it for web browsing, the specs are great.

      I do all my computing locally.

      I doubt I have a system using more than 256GB on a system disk. There’s 14 running in the house.

        You are a unicorn man doing everything locally is so uncommon these days it’s a small percentage.

  It is not a lot, but it is not that hard to extend storage. For example with an external SSD/HDD or a NAS.

    Even if tethering yourself to an external drive wasn’t wildly inconvenient anyway, you would be giving up your only usb port on this thing

      Still doable, but you can’t have external RAM. Hence, lack of RAM is a bigger issue.

        More than 8GB of ram RAM is unnecessary, and way easier to get around than setting up a NAS + tailscale solution with limited use-cases

      NAS over Tailscale is remarkably workable for non performance oriented workloads.
