You know the cliché, “bigger is better”? That almost always applies to a device’s storage capacity. It applies to Apple’s Macs, which are mostly all set at 256GB at the lower-priced standard configurations. That’s too small, even if you’re not a professional who deals with large files.

Fed Square is located in Melbourne’s Art Precinct, known locally as “the artistic heart” of the city. Sounds like an ideal place to put a flagship Apple Store, doesn’t it?
