BestBuy sells some Windows laptops with 64 GB eMMC. Space is precious on those. Chrome devices often ship with 16 GB; if Microsoft could make Windows viable at that size, they could push the absolute low end prices down a smidge and keep more users.

I get 60 Mbps down and an upgrade would be $50k. Bandwidth is relatively precious to me.

I would suggest that people are likely not attempting to use enterprise-grade collaboration software on these machines, so that's not a problem.

Except it's not enterprise-grade.
