Fortunately with the 2015 models, this is still an option. For anything past that - you’re just SOL.

At this point, 2015 models are actually going for insane values second-hand; fans understand this may be the last great laptop Apple ever makes - from the ports (built-in HDMI and SD card slots!), to the keyboard, to the ability to replace the SSD post-market - people are already certainly catching on.

I seriously shake my head every time I think about it. It blows my mind. Think about the environmental waste. :( Shameful.

I don't know what people do with laptops with soldered-on <256GB SSDs. Just your OS and swap will take up half that. Your option is then to remote into some other machine to do your work, but you can't do that on the go without internet access, kind of defeating the point of having a laptop.

Disk space is so important these days with Docker, node_modules, venv, bazel, etc. where every directory basically has its own OS. We all should have >10TB on laptops.
