Just so you know, RAM has not been user accessible to be upgraded/changed on Mac notebook computers since the introduction of the retina display in the year 2012.

Hello All,

Just wanted to know can a MacBook 13 inch 2020 memory be upgraded past the 16 GB in it presently?

RAM can not be upgraded after the computer is manufactured.

Depends on the particular Mac.

With regards to Intel-based Mac notebooks.

• You cannot upgrade RAM in any MacBook with a Retina screen. The last MacBook on which you could upgrade RAM was the MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010).
• You cannot upgrade RAM in any MacBook Air, whether it has a Retina screen or not.
• You cannot upgrade RAM in any MacBook Pro with a Retina screen. The last MacBook Pros on which you could upgrade RAM were the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) and (15-inch, Mid 2012). (Apple kept the 13-inch one in their lineup until October 2016 – even as they introduced newer 13-inch Retina models.)

You cannot upgrade the RAM after buying a MacBook. This was complicated, but possible in older devices, but Apple Silicon chips have the RAM built into the chip and upgrading it is not possible. You would have to buy a new MacBook with more RAM.
