    LOLOLOL - In Canadian dollar$$$

    Its the 4TB SSD that kills it

    • well yeah, those massive drives aren’t cheap dude.monospaced
    • Configure an HP with the same processor, screen resolution and 4tb m.2 SSDs and it comes out 30% more expensive than apples machine.monospaced
    • Getting a 4TB SSD is not worth it even to work in 3D. Put working files and apps on your SSD and use regular, larger drives for storage.CyBrainX
    • And no one uses Final Cut anymore.CyBrainX
    • Were you looking mono? I just compared (really quickly) and the Mac looks like at least $1k more, at least compared to Dell.formed
    • At HP’s site. Adding a 4TB drive adds almost $4,000. It comes to $8,900 US.monospaced
    • That’s with an i7 and a touchscreen. Closest specs I could even get. More expensive and yet Apple you’re laughing at. Weird.monospaced
    • You’re right though. A similar Dell is about $5,800.monospaced
    • who needs a 4TB drive? Who wants to lose 4TB of data with a drive failure?Bennn
    • Apparently enough people that it’s a $3k-$4k option from every laptop maker.monospaced
    • Bragging rights, I guess. They should have made it a special gold color.formed
    • Bragging rights for what? Besides being the fastest implementation of SSD so far, they aren’t special.monospaced
