If it was any more, they would have even more trouble reeling in users as is.
16GB it looks like.

That's fine. I'm saying it's hard to understand why they're obsessed with pricing things so low and making them functionally limited. Release something that HAS internal storage and CAN be used to edit photos, movies, etc. I want to see them compete with Apple in more ways than the color of the keyboard and the size of the screen.

Yes, the 11" MBA is 4x the price, but it's fully capable of running pro level apps and even Windows at the same time. People are willing to pay for something that does a lot. Google is too focused on thinking people want netbooks.
