Can I upgrade from AMD 5500M to 56000M after purchase?

I bought the Macbook Pro 16" for video editing about 2 months ago, with maxed specs. Then the 5600M came out. Is there anyway to upgrade from the AMD 5500M Graphics to the 5600M? Or is the the only option trade-in 2 months later.

Thank you in advance.

You only have a limited 14 days for a full refund or exchange for the mac that suits you better.

Privately selling your Mac, would be a much better return on your investment then the Apple Trade-in.

Your Mac is so new I suspect it is not even listed in this program.

You can call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)

yes, you have a eGPU option as an alternative.

No, the graphics processor is soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded. The only option would be to trade in your MBP (unless an eGPU is an option for your applications).

Not from personal experience, no.
