32GB of RAM? Good Linux support today? Don't have to pay $400 for 1TB storage?
Kinda a bad move to buy something that may or may not down the line do what you need to do today. I need features like USB 3 and DP USB output today not 6 months or 2 years from now if it even happens.
- jbverschoor 5y agoNot $400, but €300, so $334 > 1000GB SSD. Gen4 PCIe Over-Provisioned storage + €303,71 32gb is the only reason.. but then again, doesn't matter, because developers claim RAM is cheap anyway.. so there's no problem buying a macbook pro instead. The screen is not 4k, trackpad not as good, it's plastic, It has this oldschool barrel powercharger, etc. etc. etc.
- goosedragons 5y agoExcept you can just buy whatever M.2 SSD you want and slot it in and it doesn't even void the warranty. So for the same $400 to get a 1TB MBA you can easily get a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro (~$160) + 32GB RAM (~$130) and still have money left over. Plastic is a pro IMO anyways, doesn't have to feel cheap and it also doesn't get nicked or dented nearly as easily.
