M2 SSD Pricing

[JPack]

Another interesting decision: As an edu customer, M2 storage upgrades are $20 more expensive than M1. Apple knows their customer well - if you want to maintain SSD performance, you're paying the full $200 no matter what.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It's ridiculous…

So are you saying you believe the 256GB drive in the M2 MBA will have the same issues in terms of speed as the M2 MBP?

I don't think the Air would be spared from this cost-saving decision, especially if the entry-level Pro is affected.

I agree in that sense. I believe Apple will definitely hit MBA users there.

I don’t think the 256 GB SSD speed controversy would be deal breaker for someone coming from an older intel based Macbook though. Getting 16 Gb RAM is more important I reckon.
