Yes, several people have suggested upgrading to SSD too. I think adding RAM is enough for now but, I'll definitely be looking into that! One step at a time, eh? ๐Ÿ˜…
Is it more difficult to modify the hardware on Mac laptops compared to Windows? I read somewhere that the RAM on many Mac laptop models after 2013 can't be upgraded because it has been soldered on.

Yeah, in every way Apple has always had hardware that is not built for modification. And lately itโ€™s gotten way worse. They make great devices but their desktop and laptops do not justify the lack of mod ability at all.

Oh, I see. The lack of mod ability also extends onto their phones too which is what puts me off Apple products. I like being able to add modifications on devices like having a removable battery and memory card on a phone or upgrading hardware on a laptop. Apple seems to be moving towards removing mod ability completely which really sucks.
