It's not difficult to upgrade ram and storage on M1. The problem is limited availability of memory chips. But if you have pre-balled chips and hot air station (even the cheap ones would do) it's fairly quick to swap them out.

Even if you have used chips re-balling with right stencils is relatively easy.

I think legislators should compel Apple to make chips available to general public so these upgrades can become mainstream.

If general public is not comfortable doing that themselves, I am sure any repair shop would be more than happy to do such an upgrade for the customer.



view as:

"not difficult" is a very different thing in your world than it is for nearly everyone else in the world.

For all intents and purposes, for basically everyone, memory and storage are non-upgradeable in the M1 Macs.
