TL;DR
- YouTuber DirectorFeng successfully upgraded the MacBook Neo’s storage from 256GB to 1TB by swapping NAND chips.
- The MacBook Neo teardown reveals an elongated motherboard and a layout that is relatively easy to access compared to other MacBooks, though the NAND chip swap remains complex.
- While storage can be modified by professionals, the 8GB RAM is part of the SoC and cannot be upgraded.
Apple launched the new MacBook Neo earlier this month, entering a new price point with its most affordable laptop yet. The MacBook Neo has the same Apple A18 Pro chip as the iPhone 16 Pro, giving it enough power for everyday use cases such as social media and web browsing, and even light photo and video editing. However, the laptop isn’t perfect, and its up to 512GB internal storage might not be enough for some users. One YouTuber has taken matters into their own hands and upgraded the MacBook Neo with 1TB internal storage.
