You removed some words just now, which changes the meaning of the sentence. > but the base $3.5k spec with only 256 GB is extreme. The plain meaning of this sentence is "I expect more than 256 GB of storage when paying $3.5K for a device". You can argue for or against that if you like (I don't give a shit, because I would not buy it at any price), but not against something they did not say.
