>> It's fairly absurd that they're still selling a 256gb "Pro" machine in the first place.

My guess is they want you to use their cloud storage and pay monthly for it.



Or use an external storage. I’d be wary of using my iPad as primary storage anyway. It’s only work in progress and currently watching/reading media.


If that were the goal (I don't think it is), they'd be better off shipping enough storage to push people into the 2TB tier, which is $11 vs. $3 a month for 200GB.

I said this in a sibling comment already, but I think it's just price anchoring so that people find the $1500 they're actually going to pay a bit easier to swallow.


That doesn't make any sense.

I'm not storing my Docker containers and `node_modules` in the cloud.

Pro isn't just images and videos.


This is a tablet not a laptop
