> Nice, but on the modern Macbooks, the SSD is soldered and not replaceable. There is no way to upgrade them or replace them if they break, so you just have to throw away the whole laptop.

I mean, you can replace the logic board. Wasteful, sure, but there's no need to throw out the whole thing.

People also replace IC’s all the time. Heat it, remove the broken SSD chip, put the new one, re-heat.
