In my day even a budget laptop could have a 1TB HDD . So thumbing thru lists of the latest laptops and I come across the Microsoft Surface 3 for £999, then I notice it has just 128Gb SSD, WTF? Given the quality, given the cost, given the demand for this masterpiece of technology I guess there has to be a good reason why, in an era when information is king, such a small amount of memory is considered acceptable ~ but what is that reason? Maybe laptops now only serve to input and manipulate data which is stored securely in the ether elsewhere? If so how come £450 LESS will buy you a laptop with 512Gb of SSD? Maybe the Microsoft marketing manager spent the component budget down the pub? And howcome there are so many different laptop configurations from each manufacturer, it's fecking bizarre
