It’s just a shame that these Macs will never be something I could buy when they become really cheap on the second hand market since you can’t upgrade the Ram or change the SSD.
It’s less that you can’t, more that it would be impractical to do it.
You could probably change the ssd but the memory is on the SoC.
How would you do it?
Because once they can’t get MacOs updates, they’re gonna become really cheap and still feel nice compared to a lot of other computers.
It’s entirely possible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrg7nPG6_UU&t=993s&pp=ygUIZG9zZHVkZTE%3D
But yeah, not currently practical.
I’m hoping that by the time my M2 Air is no longer supported, OpenCore will have cracked the M-series Macs. Failing that, Asahi ought to be damn near feature complete.
Oh gosh I only watched 3 minutes of it and it looks like hell😅
I guess my wife’s 2012 MacBook Pro (with Fedora) is the last apple computer I’ll use😇
