The motherboard costs are notably fascinating. Not solely will Apple not allow you to improve to a higher-end board but additionally the corporate is dramatically incentivizing you to return the unique part. It expects you to lay out as much as $4,222 for a brand new logic board — ouch at having that on my bank card — however you’ll get the overwhelming majority of it again upon return. It is best to wind up paying $588 for a 16-inch MacBook Professional board, $500 for a 14-inch or 13-inch MBP board, or $368 for an M1 Air board, irrespective of how loaded it’s.
