Yeah, what's the real story here. I've read about how they use a single 256GB SSD in the entry models vs. two 128GB ones as before, and it's slower.
Real-world, noticeably slower to regular Air-type users (in what way, exactly) or is it one of those things the Internet has decided to collectively wet itself over? I don't know, I'm asking. Is it "for certain tasks" or just overall, day-to-day?
What, specifically, is slower? And slower coming from an M1 or slower coming from anything, even a 5-8 year-old SSD-based MacBook of some sort?
These new M2-based MacBook Pros don't do that, surely (one 512GB SSD vs. two 256GB on the entry level).
I assume the new M2-based Mac mini, with 256GB, is doing the same thing.
Is it a cost-cutting thing, because the new mini is cheaper (but the new Air wasn't)? Or is it upsell tactics/shenanigans?
