A 512GB SSD costs $29 and 16GB LPDDR5 costs $20, and that’s fucking RETAIL.
Those specs should be base in the Air, with a max of 32GB/1TB in the Airs, and the Pros should start at 64GB/2TB for their base.
30% profit margin on a 1600 laptop is $480 profit per machine.
They can and should upgrade the base, hell iPhone base starts at 6GBs of RAM…
It’d be like $450 profit per base MacBook instead of $480, it’s just nickle and diming their customers.
