Mac Studio - Buy Now - Upgrade Later

I am so excited about the direction of the new Mac Studio. As I have grown I no longer need the all in one because I have a screen far larger than what Apple is making, and am not a video person.

My question is if I get the Studio with 64GB RAM and 1TB or 2TB drives, can I add more RAM or replace the SSD through Apple or an authorized center? While I do not think I will need more RAM, I like to know if I have the assurance that I can change later should my needs change. I had an awful experience on my Mac Book Air when a component failed and I had to trash the entire system because the component was soldered to the mother board. I am hoping I could do a future upgrade to the Studio model.

Please confirm.

Computers will always be better, faster, and cheaper if you wait.

You should not spend today's dollars for the potential of tomorrow's features -- they may never come or not be to your liking.

If you want the capabilities possible NEXT year, buy a computer from all those on offer next year.

We do not know yet if ANYTHING inside the enclosure will be upgradable or not. If you want more drive space, it has lots of fast ports for external drives and drive arrays.
