But the new MacBooks are not upgradable (like the previous models). Will 256 GB SSD and 16 gig RAM be enough in 8 years? It will really depend on what you use

But the new MacBooks are not upgradable (like the previous models). Will 256 GB SSD and 16 gig RAM be enough in 8 years? It will really depend on what you use your laptop for, but for most professions I would say no.
- wlesieutre 10y agoYou sure about that? It's a removable part. http://blog.macsales.com/38440-ssd-in-late-2016-entry-level-macbook-pro-removable http://blog.macsales.com/38440-ssd-in-late-2016-entry-level-... It may take a while for a 3rd party replacement to become available, but it's not soldered onto the motherboard. If you take it to Apple with a SSD failure, they're not going to bill you $800 for a new logic board to fix it. Not sure where this assumption came from. It's like everyone's saying "I don't like this computer, so everything about it must be terrible."
- FireBeyond 10y agoI loved taking my 2013 maxed out RMBP to the Apple Store and being told the charging circuit for the battery needed to be replaced. Oh good, I thought, maybe $200? No. $795+tax. "You might want to look at buying a new Mac" which got me same screen, same SSD, same memory, CPU from Haswell to Broadwell... I love planned obsolescence and "part pricing to encourage replacement, not repair".
