Apple's memory and SSD prices are too damn high for what they're giving. Basically ~$200 per 8GB of RAM and ~$200 per half terabyte of SSD. This is well out of line what you pay for both in any other product or standalone, and there's nothing especially good about the RAM and NAND chips they use to justify anything close to those prices. If they were buying SSDs retail off of Amazon and marking them up 30 or 40 percent, that would be a bargain compared to what they charge for SSDs right now, and they're not paying anything close to retail prices themselves.
