 <p>When I encountered this UX, I wanted to buy a new Mac, but the four base-configurations to pick from and then adapt to my needs overlap and are confusing. This is what kept me from my impulse buy. I guess: Thanks Apple! I ended up not buying a new Mac that day, because I couldn’t be bothered to put this work in at that time. I left the page with the intention to buy one later, thinking: “Dammed if I know when I’ll find the time to navigate the latest maze!” This gave me time to learn more about the new Mac Mini and ultimately decide against buying one.</p>
 <h2>Apple’s Upgrade pricing and how you can defend yourself</h2>
 <p>As I wrote above, I decided not to buy in the end, because the base model only comes with 256GB SSD and an upgrade to 512 GB is USD 200. An SSD with 512 GB is about USD 30 on Amazon, Apple wants USD 200 for half that? No. Thats an Apple-premium of 6x, its disgusting.</p>
