Really Apple 512 GB in 2024 not 1 TB

[Dominican]

Do you believe Apple is out of control by selling Mac Mini with 512 GB in 2024 🤣

I was surprised reading Best Buy review on Mac studio and Mac Mini M2 Pro most people were happy with the purchase Even though it’s a rip off 512 GB

Do you believe 512 GB in 2024 is good ?

Same for the MacBooks IMHO. Also, probably even worse 8GB RAM as base level memory!

Nope.

Apple's stock SKUs make a lot of sense.

If you need something else just order it.

Yes the root complaint here isn’t the spec, it’s the price you’ve got to pay for something of there’s you want. It’s an age old complaint as old as  itself. “Too expensive!”

I don't care so much about the built in drive -- it's just the "boot" volume and everything else resides in externals or cloud.
BUT -- the "8GB RAM" is extremely paltry in today's world for a brand new PC, especially since it is not expandable and if you end up needing more RAM, you have to ditch the entire computer and buy a different one.

All marketing. Apple counts on their customers buying 'upgraded' base models.

256gb is fine for many — maybe even most — users. Everyone I know stores their docs on Google Drive and does everything else in a web browser.

Think about every Mac sitting on a receptionists desk that's just dialed into some networked system where they check your appointments, what the hell do they need a local drive for besides storing their OS and Safari?

Not everyone is a power user or a photographer.

Hell, I'm a developer and got by fine with 256gb until I picked up a project that required Docker a couple years ago… now I'm on a 1tb SSD because that's the smallest they ship with M3 Max, 750gb free.

512GB of internal storage is more than enough for the Mac mini.

I think putting 512GB in the M2 Pro (Mini) is no good. I'd rather see it with a 1GB SSD and 24GB RAM minimum.
