minus-squareAlphane MoonOPMlink24•edit-21 month agoFor a such a price I would expect a larger Optane SSD (I am assuming you would use it for your boot/application drive). 2TB base storage is also ridiculous for such a price, although you can fit a lot of music in 2TB even if you store everything in FLAC.
minus-square@Cortlink13•1 month agoThe optane is weird on multiple fronts, but what struck me was the ram. ONLY 48GB when you have dual CPUs, seems weird for something of this price.
minus-square@recklessengagementlink2•1 month agoThat, and how they’re somehow able to take you from 2TB of additional storage to 64TB for a mere 2 grand… Something isn’t adding up
