y.a.w.n........
A 512 SSD is less than $70
A 1TB is around $100
A 2TB is less than $199.
This better be really cheap. I see no reason to be making SSD smaller than 512GB or 1TB.
When I buy my mother computer equipment, it's solely for using MS Office and PDFs.
Anything beyond that, she's using a tablet (my old iPad) or hersmartphone (I bought her an LG STYLO 4).
128GB SSD is something that should be built into the device at this point.
