OK? What makes you think their cheapest MacBook Air is what they want to sell the most of? If 256GB isn't enough, customers will purchase the higher-spec'd unit.
How are you Andrones STILL unable to grasp how Apple's sales methods work?

99% of commentators never used macbook, but have a lot of opinions about it. And big surprise for Apple marketing about memory and storage. WhinerArena

In my town you get your chromebook in 5th grade and use it until you graduate, the m4 is very futureproof where a chromebook would need upgraded multiple times over that timeframe.

Tell me, is video editing on the go (which many people I know use macbook airs for) even possible with 256gb? By this point I can tell you're an apple fanboy. You're not doing a great job hiding it when you ignore half my comment because you have no argument to deal with it.
Also it doesn't matter that it's more powerful than a Chromebook when it can't really do that much more.

You can't really use cloud services on the go, which becomes a problem when you only have 256gb and the main purpose of the device is to be used on the go. Also, a $999 netbook is a horrible product when Chromebooks do most of a netbook's roles for a much lower price. (except they lock you to a horrible browser, but that's a random tangent

It starts with 256GB onboard storage in 2025.
The $999 price tag is a scam.
