MacBook Pro 16 memory upgrade feasibility and cost?

I have bought Macbook Pro 16 with M4Pro and it has 24G memory. Would I be able to increase/upgrade the memory in future if I need it? how much will it cost?

MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 2024)

Point of purchase only. Todays technology is SMT (Surface Mount Technology) this is at the factory. No replaceable RAM

or other major components.


If you want to upgrade— you have a limited 14 days for an exchange or refund for any reason—see Returns & Refunds Order status: start here https://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund


Only items that have been purchased directly from Apple, either online or at an Apple Retail Store



Remember unused RAM is wasted RAM— not like the old days. Memory management has come along way.


Multiple cores, hyper threading, compressed memory this all goes back quite a ways now.

the new M-Series was another huge leap forward with unified memory, allowing the GPU and CPU to share memory without penalty.
