Hi!

No, it's all soldered on. So it won't be easy to replace/upgrade it.

Still, it is possible but it requires some serious skills to do it.

It's easier to replace the motherboard which is already configured with more capacity, but this is not cheap...

So, if you have a lot of experience with soldering, you can try, but there is a high chance of failure.

In my opinion, I would sell the device and get a new one instead with more RAM/SSD capacity, sorry!

If you are interested how challenging it is, you can find some more info here: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/06/m1-...
