It’s a sad state of affairs any way you parse it. For the sake of our pocketbook, not to mention our planet, it doesn’t seem very considerate or responsible on Apple’s part. The iPhone juggernaut and concomitant expectation that one will merrily replace a device every two years apparently rules the roost now when it comes to computers as well. If you must have more internal storage (c’mon, we all want it eventually), you’ll have to toss out, sell, or otherwise dispose of the entire machine. The SSD and memory modules in new Macs are permanently soldered to the computer’s motherboard, precluding any and all modifications or upgrades. In fact, since 2016, Apple has made it impossible. Thinking about installing a faster, high-capacity SSD from Samsung or Western Digital? It’s not going to happen. But not so for the millions of Apple MacBook Pro, Air, and Mini users who, while singing the praises of the Mac ecosystem at every opportunity, suffer mightily for their undying loyalty. Want to increase your machine’s internal storage and upgrade its memory? It should be a routine task. Why the New MacBook Pro You Need May Be the One You Already HaveĪpple computers can be a bear to deal with, with proprietary closed systems that thwart the best intentions of mice and men.
