From a certain year onwards (2011 I think), all of the RAM modules have been soldered onto the logic board hence they can't be replaced. This is how Apple makes a thinner design on their laptops. So if you are going to purchase a more recent MacBook, you can't swap out the RAM. It started with the MacBook Air.Noob here. Sorry. |
