On my 2015 MacBook Pro, I can replace the solid-state drive. Also the battery, fans, some other components. But the drive is the only 'upgradeable' component that I can touch. After the 2015 model year? Everything's soldered in. Very frustrating. Fortunately desktop PCs are normally not so bound. I haven't even taken the back off my 2023 MacBook Pro! Maybe I can replace the battery? Not completely sure on that score! I should check iFixit....
SMH "Remove the screws". Yeah, standard. "Disengage clips". HUH? Get the back off.... remove various screws.... REMOVE TRACKPAD ASSEMBLY! I think I might let a shop handle it when my laptop needs a battery replacement. I've done it three times in a '15 MacBook Pro, but this is getting a little ridiculous.
