No, we don't. Modern Macbook which is overpriced elite computer sells with 256GB storage. There're plenty of laptops selling with 120GB storage.
I'd argue that since we migrated from HDD to SSD, we expect computers to come with less storage than before. I had 200GB HDD in like 2005 or something like this.
- ziddoap 4y agoMy point was that expectations have changed over time... You can get as pedantic as you want over the exact sizes, but someone buying a computer today expects more storage than someone who was buying a computer in the early 90s.
- ClumsyPilot 4y ago> Modern Macbook which is overpriced elite computer sells with 256GB storage its just that our industry is a joke, imagine they'd sell cars with three wheels and carge you extra for the 4th.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoThe joke is that you can't even buy the 4th wheel later as a add-on, you need to replace your entire car instead.
- ElectricalUnion 4y ago> Modern Macbook which is overpriced elite computer If you bough a overpriced elite computer, and potentially other parts of that ecosystem of products, why would you not pay for overpriced elite cloud storage as well? That is very reasonable thinking from Apple.
