In that case, the modification also would void the MacBook’s warranty and for non-experts, even making slight adjustments like that are beyond the comfort levels of the average MacBook owner.Īs Engadget says, it’s nice to see that an M1 MacBook is technically more upgradeable than Apple wants you to believe, but given how restrictive the company has been around repair, this seems like a situation it would consider an exploit and if it becomes popular enough, something it could patch out via software or make infeasible due to restricting part availability. Earlier this year, Linus Tech Tips showed that the M1 MacBook Air actually can match - or even beat - the M1 MacBook Pro’s performance with a thermal pad upgrade.
This isn’t the first example of experts tinkering with Apple’s very specific and un-upgradeable design. That said, if the parts are successfully sourced, the previous parts correctly removed, and the new ones properly added, the technicians showed that they successfully expanded the computer from 8GM of memory to 16GB, and the 256GB storage drive was expanded to 1TB. Not only will you have to properly source parts that are compatible with the system, but you will also have to remove the RAM and SSD chips that are soldered-on - not something most people would recommend. How much RAM and storage did you go for when buying your Mac Studio? Let us know in the comments section below.As expected with something like this, the process is not straightforward and full of pitfalls. It's neither convenient nor budget-friendly, but that's the way Apple operates. If you've already bought a Mac Studio and really need the extra memory, your only choice would be selling your current machine and buying another one with upgraded specifications. So if you believe you will need more memory than that included in the entry-level models, you have to select that during your purchase - not after. The company allows users to choose the RAM and storage configurations when they're buying a Mac. So you're stuck with the configuration you initially went for.īut what about users who need more memory on their Macs? Apple caters for different budgets and needs with its diverse Mac lineup. Apple doesn't make these parts accessible to users. If you've bought a Mac Studio, you can upgrade neither the RAM nor the storage on it.
