minus-squareKursem_v2@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agothe problem isn’t whether 8 GB are enough for the average joe. the problem is Apple are charging 1599$ for an 8 GB laptop. even for that price, 16 GB are really pushing it — especially with only 512 GB of storage space. so yes, the problem is Apple are being greedy.
