Core i5 4GB 128GB $ 999 USD
8GB 256GB $1299
Core i7 8GB 256GB $1599
16GB 512GB $2100

Forgot to upgrade W10-S to Pro ?

W10Pro +$49

I cannot provide any info on the processors, because
there isn't any.

I presume they're all Intel graphics. The latter two
might be Iris, with a few extra E.U.

Display uses retina graphics. Looks a bit saturated :-)

13" 2.0GHz Dual core i5 8GB 256GB M.2 $1499
2.9GHz 8GB $1799
2.9GHz 8GB 512GB M.2 $1999

2.7GHz 8GB 128GB M.2 $1299

15" 2.6GHz Quad core i7 16GB 256GB M.2 $2399 (Radeon graphics)
2.7GHz 512GB M.2 $2799

2.2GHz 256GB M.2 $1999 (Intel Iris)

The Apple probably only comes with one OS.
No +$49 option.

Think of the nice desktop you could buy
for prices like that...

Considering the thickness of these things, every
electronic component could be soldered to the motherboard.
So if you have an "oopsie" moment and buy too small
a storage device, it's quite possible there is no option
to change it. If storage was modular, it would add
a few extra mm to the thickness.

And I bet there's a good dollup of glue to keep
the battery in there, so if you need a new battery...

I would inspect these items carefully, at their
respective bricks and mortar store. Just to see how
locked down they are.

Think of these things as "SmartPhones with tiltable lids" :-)
