Upgrade paths

RAM

16 GB (2×8 GB DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM) · The slim redesign dropped the RAM door on the 21.5" model. Memory is reachable only by removing the glued display, so it is not a user-serviceable upgrade.

HARD

storage

2.5" SATA SSD or Apple SSD blade slot · Display is glued with adhesive strips, opening requires cutting them and re-taping on reassembly.
