- The MacBook Neo offers 256GB and 512GB storage options, with a maximum of 512GB officially available.
- A YouTuber successfully upgraded the MacBook Neo's SSD to 1TB using the same NAND chip from the iPhone 16 Pro, which shares the A18 Pro SoC.
- The DIY upgrade involves soldering a 1TB chip costing around $210, bringing total costs to $800-$900, but requires advanced skills and is not trivial.
- The 8GB RAM on the MacBook Neo cannot be upgraded as it is integrated into the A18 Pro System on a Chip.
