Just like Apple has always done, you've always been able to customise what processor/RAM/storage you want. Apple are famous for screwing people over on additional RAM/storage. As far as I can tell the only difference now is that you can change the screen size. When I bought this one last December you chose the screen size then customised it however you wanted.
It's a non-story.

I think the real story buried in the lead was that apple have significantly changed its notorious "marketing ladder" (You start with an affordable mac at the top of the ladder, then go down the ladder each time thinking "Hmm , only 300 to double the ram size, I think its worth it" , then at the next rung "Hmm only 200 to double the ssd space" and so on, and after 6 or 7 rungs your mac has doubled in price but you now feel committed to it, because by chosing it, you made yourself want it. It was shockingly effective.
The fact they've changed it, is....... interesting? Maybe folks had wisened up to it?
