It's about $100 more to go from 512 GB to 1 TB, and these are better than what Apple puts in their machines. https://www.mrmemory.co.uk/ssd-upgrades/lenovo/thinkpad/p1

That's not how much Lenovo actually charges.

They charge 450$ retail and 250$ on special for a slightly slower SSD

"On special." This is merely typical price for a reseller. The point is that Apple is overcharging at least 2x compared to competitors.

If you are surprised that Apple charge more, welcome to the real world.
