> Well, I have 1TB or storage on mine, so? Where is that listed? The biggest one I can find on apple.com has a 512GB drive. > Second, whether it has cheap replacement options is not exactly a criterion about if it's the best out there or not. Presumably you'd be using it for a couple of years, not just right now. > Besides, any competitor product I can buy that doesn't have "soldered RAM" and would allow me to upgrade its RAM 2 years in the future, will also have lost more of its resale value compared to an Apple laptop. Have fun with your pyramid schemes. > Or you know, buying Applecare for it, and having the customer support that most people have rated as #1 in satisfaction in relevant surveys in the US for more than a decade. Yes, because I'm fond of paying more to (barely) solve the problem that they created in the first place. The $400 + $300 per incident add up to enough to just buy another laptop from a more competent manufacturer. Or you could just repair it, and keep the change.

(I have the 15") >Presumably you'd be using it for a couple of years, not just right now. Yes, usually use them for 3 years or so before replacement (previous model I had was a 2013 one, new model is a 2017). But I pick a model based on my needs down those 2-3 years. If I have a feel I'll be needing more disk, I get a bigger disk from the start. >Have fun with your pyramid schemes. Selling a used laptop (or anything) is hardly a pyramid scheme. For one, it doesn't usually get more than 1 sale, making the whole "pyramid scheme" accusation moot. >Yes, because I'm fond of paying more to (barely) solve the problem that they created in the first place. The payment is on top of the standard warrantee, and includes accidents and such that are not covered by most warrantees, so... >add up to enough to just buy another laptop from a more competent manufacturer Well, good luck with that.
