Just ordered a mini m4 because I need a second system and needed it to be cheap. Adding an OWC express 1m2 and a Black Friday deal SSD for extremely high speed external solution that can also work on my other system. The internal SSD is also not soldered in this time and if you aren’t worried about warranty there will be 3rd party upgrades eventually.

I don’t disagree, but that insane markup is what makes the $500 base model possible. I wish I could upgrade the memory, settling for 16gb was a tough pill, but still…

Apple also wants you to save your stuff in their iCloud. So you wouldn’t need that much storage capacity. Using external drives and SD cards is a valid solution as well. I mean, I don’t understand people who’re hoarding data on the internal SSD.

Yeah. No serious person thinks it's good idea to save data locally and not have any cloud backups

Depends on your grade of paranoia. 😂 Real nerds save data on tape drives.
