Hard drives ain’t getting bigger, the right side of that line is flat. Compare that to Komorowski’s 2009 post, when things were a bit more rosy…

I’m feeling this now because I’m been looking for an excuse to replace my 2013 Macbook Air (apparently I’m a masochist when it comes to ports) I had my current model’s HD space goosed up to 500Gb when I acquired it. If I got a new “Macbook” and if storage was my major concern over processor speed and memory (which it is), I’d have to pay at $1400 vs $1000 for the base model.

Some of that’s the Apple Tax, but they’re also an industry pacesetter, and the situation doesn’t seem better in PC land. (Not that I consider it a serious option for me right now.) More at Kirk’s UI Dev Blog.

Nice work by Kirk.
