I’m sorry, but 128 GB hard drive in 2019 is not inexpensive. Reviewer is leaving Apple away too lightly here. Apple should be hammered and embarrassed in the press, until they go 256 GB base on their “pro” Mac portable. Your advice to users is to get an external hard drive or NAS, really? And higher cloud storage requires a permanent recurring fee, so it adds up over time. Add built in store is handier, faster and trumps any external or networked solution. IMO the keyboard is lousy and the storage is greedy and stingy. This is Pro-naemic machine. They gave the processor quad core, but they took away features/size/speeds/ports to do so. We keep getting less computer for our money, IMO.

Also notice, you call this computer inexpensive, but it’s not the model you personally bought, is it? How would you feel about owning this model as your Mac yourself? I wonder how long it was take for descriptors like “inexpensive” to drop from your awareness.

With universal Siri, all spoken requests would be in error.

Maybe you should see a speech therapist instead.

Blaming the user, how original.

Apple should do X, because it legitimises our crazy investments in voice. Oh and btw, look what’s for sale.

Seeing as 128 GB isn’t big enough for most people, this computer is no bang for your buck.

Expect the price to go up, not down. And hope for a totally good keyboard with good travel and feel and sound. Something people immediately like.
