Apple has dramatically lowered the cost of upgraded SSD storage while ordering a new Mac from their online store. With new prices applying to all Macs including the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, and the Mac Mini. And comes at the same time as MacBook Air received an all-new lower price.
While purchasing a new Mac computer from Apple, there are a number of configurations available to choose from. For example, the MacBook Air comes in two models which offer either 128GB or 256GB of Solid-state Disk (SSD) storage. While the MacBook Pro vary from 128GB to 1TB (1000GB) of SSD storage.
However, one of the exclusivities of Apple online is the ability to customise a Mac. While options vary between models, generally you can pay to upgrade to a better processor and more Memory RAM and storage. Others, such as the iMac Pro even have the option for more powerful dedicated graphics cards.
