Why $1200?

>MB
8gb of ram
Really? And of course i can't do anything about it, my fucking 6yr x220 have 12gb ram, becouse i need at least 2 vm to work.

8GB is plenty for a laptop, the CPU will be the bottleneck most of the times.

MacOS is running fine with 4GB, so you'd have 2GB for each of the VMs, what's the problem with that?
Besides, you can upgrade it from the start if you plan to do RAM heavy shit, most people don't.

good luck with runing:
> windows vm with
>visual botnet studio
and
>adroid emulator
My fucking firefox takes 2-3 gb of ram. Also i love:
>256gb ssd
>2 tb hdd
>9 cell battery

Except program B literally replaces program A.

osx is good.
apple hardware is shit.

profit margins

also it's a fake price decrease.

The lower price is only for the 128 gb model with a whole 2 ports.

The 256 gb model (still with only 2 ports), is still 1500 in the us.
