    Wow, doesn't Apple feel any shame? So you pay top dollar and they still have the audacity to give you a slow SSD for the 256GB model? :eek:

    USA still the best. But barely.
    How slow can an SSD be? Seems like people who think they need 5G speed.

    It's probably only an issue for people who need the best SSD speed, perhaps graphic designers. But it's still a scandal when you think about that Apple had a profit of almost $100 billion in 2022, and sell their laptops at a premium price with only 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD.
