Mid-2014 13" rMBP – can the SSD be upgraded?

    I'm thinking about getting a new 13" Macbook (MGX82), and obviously upgrading the memory myself will save a few euro over buying it preconfigured by Apple.

    Does anyone know if it can be upgraded easily? Seen that there's a tutorial on iFixit, but looking around there are conflicting reports. Others have said that the m.2 drive is soldered onto the logic board and can't be easily replaced? :confused:

    can't upgrade memory or the SSD, the SSD is PCI and the RAM is soldered.

    The SSD is removable but the part is custom made and quite expense the last time I checked. And replacing it yourself may void the warranty.

    I’d recommend getting the machine BTO with the storage you need.
