Not bad. $200 off the regular model and $300 off the higher-end model.

I thought this machine would be $4999 so I'm impressed.

True, that's not very much storage. It'll probably cost over $800 for 1TB.

Helpful if you are still in school, not so much if you have long since graduated.

I wonder if there will be third party ssd upgrades .. would be nice to get the 256 and then down the road update to 1tb

Very true but I normally just run the OS and a few programs off the SSD in my current computers. So not having 1 TB is no big deal to me I have enough external stroage which is the way Apple seems to be going (not that I approve).

I predict the iDrive and iRaid at some point in the future.

Or exactly $800 if we go by the MBP pricing

1TB PCIe-based Flash Storage [Add $800.00]

This is what I was thinking. Seems logical.
