Amazon sells 2TB SSD drives for ~$200 each and I could care less about performance as they would be for backup. However that is 3 times as expensive as some reliable low performance hard drives of the same size. There is plenty of documentation out on the web on how to setup MacOS on Virtual Box. As far as licensing as an individual I don’t care. Besides I already have 3 Mac’s in my home. As for support, most problems that Apple can solve I can already solve for myself. For others Apple support is of little use. As a professional tool, having the capability to add a DVD would be a nice feature as some professionals still use them and personally I detest having chunks of hardware scattered all over the place outside of the main machine. Cables also have external connectors which are not as reliable as internal ones. As far as I am concerned the cheese graters are still the ultimate design profile for the Mac. FYI: while not as elegant looking you can get a desktop VERSA stand that has similar functionality to the 1k Mac display stand for around $100. If you use the Mac VERSA adapter, that drops the cost of a flexible stand by around ⅔’ss. Frankly I have little interest in how the stand looks as I am buying a tool, not a piece of artwork.
I also I would advise waiting for at least a couple of months after release before buying one as bugs are most certainly going to surface with this machine and some of them could be motherboard related which can’t be fixed on the machines initially released. After all, in the current technology paradigm, all users are volunteer beta testers who pay manufacturers for the privilege of doing proper QA on their products.
