A: AnswerThe short answer is no; the SSD is soldered to the main board, making replacement a non-trivial task. That said if you're feeling adventurous... Of course, you can upgrade the SSD! :) The M3 MacBook Air's SSD consists of two NAND modules, which are surface mount components. You'll need a heat gun (a rework station sets you up for success) and a basic understanding of reflow soldering. After removing the original SSD modules, clean the area thoroughly (isopropyl works well for this). Using a stencil, apply solder paste to the PCB and place the new ICs onto the solder pads. Use your heat gun to heat the chip (avoid overheating—keep temperatures around 230°C for less than 30 seconds; reflow profiles can typically be found online). Once you have a bond, boom! Updated SSD. Reassemble, cross your fingers, and power it up. Boot into DFU mode by holding the power button until the DFU splash screen appears. If all goes well, pat yourself on the back because you are awesome! Alternatively, you can custom order the MacBook Air M3 from Apple in 1 or 2TB variations. While this option is easier and safer, it doesn’t have the added benefit of making you a legend.Answered by Steve

The Best Buy!
I've had tons of great iPhones and iPods, one iMac, one Macbook Pro, and one iPad, and this computer is genuinely the best of all of them. It is incredibly fast, even when editing 4K video. I can have several Adobe apps open at a time, along with a bunch of internet tabs, and Obsidian and Movavi converting HD to 4K in the background, all fast, all beautifully executed. This computer has been running either On or in Sleep mode for three months and has not crashed. The screen is gorgeous, the sound quality is great, the keyboard and trackpad are exactly what you expect from a Mac. I have nothing bad to say about this computer.

Laptop has great power and is super handy
Apple has powered the laptop with it's latest M3 processor which has enabled me to do multitasking efficiently. It is also powered with Apple intelligence on which I am yet to try hands on. I am exited to try the apple intelligence given the potential that it has. The sound quality is great and so does the video quality. I have experience no lags or issues with the screen refresh rate. The power tag this laptop has is sufficient for doing multitasking, programming, running emulators, and so much more. I 13" version is easily portable and I can carry it with ease anywhere, powering me to use the laptop at any place without any difficulties in carrying it.
