What we actually do
On serviceable models — most 2012–2017 machines — an SSD and a RAM lift transform the machine for a fraction of a replacement.
We clone your existing drive sector-for-sector, so the machine comes back exactly as it was, only faster. Nothing to reinstall, nothing to set up.
Honest line: Apple-silicon MacBooks (M1 onward) have soldered storage and memory. They cannot be upgraded, by us or anyone. If that is your machine we will tell you straight and, if it helps, quote a refurb with more headroom.
Parts and grades, stated plainly
NVMe drives from named manufacturers with proper adapters where the Apple connector requires one. No white-label drives.
Warranty
3 months on drive and fitting. The drive manufacturer warranty passes to you. Full terms on the warranty page.
