Upgrade paths

battery

Original-spec internal cell replacement only · Glued-in battery under the bottom panel; requires careful prying and adhesive removal, no official parts channel outside China.

~$30-50 for a third-party replacement cell

HARD

storage

M.2 PCIe SSD swap, capacity limited by available drive sizes at the connector's PCIe generation · Bottom panel comes off with standard screws; SSD is socketed rather than soldered, unlike the MacBook Air it copies.

~$40-80 for a replacement M.2 drive

MODERATE

RAM

Locked at factory-installed 4 GB or 8 GB · LPDDR3 is soldered to the board; no upgrade path, same as the Apple hardware it was designed to emulate.
