Upgrade paths

RAM

Soldered, 8 or 16 GB fixed at purchase · LPDDR3/DDR3L soldered to the logic board. Buy the 16 GB config up front.

LOCKED

storage

2 TB M.2 NVMe via Sintech-style adapter · Proprietary removable PCIe blade slot. A ~$25 adapter takes a standard M.2 NVMe SSD; needs the Boot ROM from macOS 10.13+ first. Well-trodden community path, but a fiddly disassembly.

~$25 adapter + drive

HARD

battery

95 Wh replacement pack (A1494) · Glued to the top case, solvent or top-case swap job.
