If they make one with at least 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD... and... here's the real catch... don't charge their usual 30000% markup on wholesale prices for RAM/SSD, then I'll happily buy one of these for my son.
All these modern Apple chips are overkill unless you're doing large video editing jobs or playing intense games (and let's face it, if you're fully into games, you've got a windows desktop machine for that role). The bottleneck to performance for 99.9% of people isn't the CPU/GPU, it's the ridiculously low quantity of vastly overpriced RAM/SSD.
Reality is though, I'll look at the prices with 16GB/1TB, and won't buy it. Same happened with the current MBA.
Base prices for MBA/MBP are reasonable for the quality. Add the upgrade ripoffs, and nope.
