If you need more storage, look into external/network drives instead.

I assume the SSD cannot be upgraded to 1TB or higher. At this price point, 512GB seems to be a set back on otherwise sold specs.
I don't know if you were living under a rock. But this is how apple specs laptop tiers. I agree with your sentiment though. 512gb is like 8gb ram. Barely enough to sustain an active user and inadequate for someone who is migrating from another laptop.
And that is also the reason I am looking at windows laptops instead. Half the price for twice the storage. 25% more value even after the build quality difference.

Large scratch files? Maybe. Temp files for projects? Maybe. But a $100 thunderbolt 4 drive can be as quick and a great option for those needing that and more storage.

Also, the iPhone works well with a Mac. Microsoft couldn't make Windows Phone a thing - still the best interface and speed in my opinion, but the apps war killed it.
This is a tempting deal, but geez only 512GB? It's so Apple to do that.

Lifelong PC user, until I switched to Mac couple years ago. There is definitely a lot more value/specs with PCs and I still say that Windows UI is better. Stupid things like a files count in a directory isn't a default thing in Finder and you moving files from one directory to another is supremely inefficient. However, the primary reason for my move was the M1 processor. For video processing, there is no comparison - I had to make the move.Also, the iPhone works well with a Mac.

Exactly!! I don't know what's up Apple charging premium prices on pro laptops and refusing to spec for pro users. Even with cloud and external drives, I don't understand how this is a pro level storage option, considering the retail price is over 2k.
And don't get me started on 128gb base storage on iPhone Pro. Just not enough without regular pruning. Price increases every year but specs stay baselined for a decade.
