Depending on your use, 512GB may be a tad small. I have this entry model but w/ a 1TB SSD. Even though I edit everything on external SSDs, 512GB isn't enough. 1TB is my sweet spot to have my apps and important files on the internal drive and not be anywhere near full. Neither the internal storage nor RAM is upgradable. What you buy is what you are stuck with internally.

Also FYI WWDC starts Wed and the M2 Studio launch is anticipated. That should trigger clearance pricing of the M1 models, perhaps w 1TB+ SDDs.

except it doesn't really matter what AMD/Intel has because you'll never be able to buy this rig with anything BUT an Msomething.

I would wait, WWDC around the corner - possible an M3 version. Or M2 Pro/Max.

I don't think they do hardware at wwdc
Last year was the MacBook Air and Pro. Plenty of leaks showing new hardware.

M1 Max was a beast when it came out and kicked AMD/Intel butt. Now, it's slower than AMD last gen APU. Wait for M3 to come out.

I've been waiting for the M2 to drop into the Studio! Thanks for the heads' up that it might be coming out soon. I'm working on a 6 year old iMac that still works great, but I want to jump in soon with at least a 1TB version.

I've always been a Mac guy. But even I admit that having 32GB of RAM while only having 512GB storage is just strange and annoying.

Makes sense to me. It's unified RAM, so more comparable to VRAM on a PC, which you can't upgrade later. On the other hand with TB4 it's easy to throw on super fast storage. In fact, considering the target audience, I bet many of these will be using RAID and/or NAS.
