Misaligned storage prices? iPad vs MacBooks
Looking at cost for going from 32GB to 128GB in the latest iPad, I am wondering what's going on with MacBook storage prices?
How much of a performance difference are we talking about to warrant what Apple is charging, especially knowing Apple can get bulk discounts? Still feeling that starting at 128GB is too little for a pro laptop.
- The price different for the iPad 32GB and iPad 128GB is $100 USD or 1.04 ¢/GB
- For the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, going from 128GB to 256GB is $200 USD or 1.56 ¢/GB
- Finally I can get a 400GB micro SD card (SanDisk 400GB Extreme microSDXC, on Amazon) for $91 USD or 0.23 ¢/GB!
