While I am impressed by the M1 chip, I don't ever intend on dropping $1000 or more on a computer with a soldered in SSD that cannot be replaced, and cannot even be removed for the sake of data retrieval. Not as long as I have the option of buying computers with replaceable drives that will work just a well for me as this machine, at a fraction of the cost. I've heard claims that soldered in SSDs have lower latency, allow for thinner computers, and so on. Replaceable NVME drives are already blazing fast and allow for laptops that were already thin enough. How thin and fast do you really need it, especially at the cost of reparability in the event of a drive failure?
