It’s that whole thing where the medium amount of ram upsells you to the large amount of ram.
The base model has 8gb of ram and 512gb of storage, but is only £1700… But that’s not useable.
1TB of storage is only £200 more, but it doesn’t have enough ram.
18gb of ram is only £200 more again, but it’s back to a 512gb ssd.
18gb of ram with 1tb ssd is £2500. And that’s what most folk would consider to be acceptable.
And that’s an £800 upsell, by making little bits unpalatable.
It’s aggressive marketing. Or unfair marketing.
Like that thing where a cosmetic is 600 game-coins. 500 game-coins is £5, and 1000 game-coins is £7.50.
Might as well but 1000 game-coins. But then you have 400 game-coins left over, and you will never be able to buy the perfect amount of game-coins to spend on cosmetics, and that little amount left over makes you want a new cosmetic for “only £5 more”.
It’s just scammy
