macbook pro 13 M1 ssd upgrade

Hi to everyone who is reading my question!


I would like to buy MBP 13" with an M1 chip (2020 edition), and I would like to save some cash on a purchase.


Q:

  1. If I buy it with 256GB SSD storage, is it possible if required later on at the Service center to Upgrade it up to 512 GB SSD?
  2. Do I have to configure at the beginning of the Purchase process via Apple's web page possibly required Storage?

The SSD and memory in the M1 series MacBooks are soldered to the logic board during manufacture so they can NOT be upgraded later. You should consider your long term requirement and order your new MacBook with this in mind, although you can increase storage by using an external accessory disk drive.
