apple storage and ram is trash - true. upgrades are crazy overpriced. this is bare minimum i would ever consider - and this 599-box easily turns into 1.5k with base m4. at this point it already makes sense to just go for m4 pro mac mini with 512 ssd and 24 ram - that is also 1.5k.
and then on top of it a thunderbolt dock which costs additional 100.
if they ever stop cucking everyone around with ram/ssd prices - these will be the best computers ever created.
