If I look at getting a 14" MBP with no CPU upgrade, 32GB RAM, and 4TB internal storage, it's $3899. The base price is $2499, and I could still make this laptop over $5k if I wanted 8TB storage and a M1 Max chip, so I guess this is reasonable.When I look at comparable external drives, a high quality T4 SSD is almost $800, so it's really ok if I can keep it in the machine and not drag loose cables and devices around. Lastly, if one is to make such a purchase, these machines last a long time so it makes sense to add extras in areas that are rational.</blockquote>
