I mostly miss the ability to add or replace defective storage modules, and the ability to add more onboard storage to things like mac minis. External storage sucks in many ways, from desk clutter, unreliability from jostling cables damaging themselves and ports and extra expense. Especially in today's age of small M.2 drives. Even the pro laptops could use some storage slots for media professionals so you don't see goofy ass shit such as velcroed SSDs on macbook screens, which is is a thing I've seen video professionals do sometimes.
Hardwired storage is horrible from a data recovery standpoint also, you should be able to take our your storage chip and try to recover data from it in a standalone fashion as long as you know the encryption key, even if your main board or CPU has been damaged.
Their storage and RAM prices being double the market price is also irritating.
