minus-squareAlphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·edit-213 days agoFor a such a price I would expect a larger Optane SSD (I am assuming you would use it for your boot/application drive). 2TB base storage is also ridiculous for such a price, although you can fit a lot of music in 2TB even if you store everything in FLAC.
minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·13 days agoThe optane is weird on multiple fronts, but what struck me was the ram. ONLY 48GB when you have dual CPUs, seems weird for something of this price.
