That could be, it totally wasn't clear to me that they meant that was unreasonably small hardware vs that's unreasonable for Asahi to say was the minimum you could run on.
Honestly, I suspect there are a whole lot of people that could be perfectly happy with 256GB storage on an Air. I mean, sure, I got 2TB for my MBP 5 years ago, but my father-in-law is likely never going to need even close to 256GB on his, which is basically being a Chromebook for him.
I just bought a 2TB drive over the holidays and it was $250, so it's not like they're an insignificant percentage of a <$1K laptop.

- linsomniac 10mo agoYou must be talking about spinning discs, since we were talking about Macbooks I was talking SSDs but obviously could have been more clear about that. But I'm probably more picky about drives than you are as well, if you're ordering $208 16TB externals. I just ordered a 14TB spinning for $350, but it's a Ultrastar. The SSD I got is the Samsung 9100 Pro, at $190 before tax.
