apple has a history of failing NVMe too, and they're (for whatever insane reason) soldering those NVMes down too.
pro-grade machines WILL be HAMMERED in terms of writes, especially lower storage models.
these lower tier devices seem to me like manufactured e-waste.
256 GB shows up as 220GB
System & pre installed take 70GB
User is left with only 150GB
The 8GB unified memory aka dynamic SWAP uses 150GB SSD, degrading storage faster & eventually die < 3yrs.
🍎 giving 🖕🏻 to its users.
