No. No user replaceable memory or storage on these.

New Mac arch uses unified memory, ram is on the silicon itself if I am not mistaken

M2 Pro Mac mini is also $200 off for $1099. Great deal if you need the extra ram, storage, GPU.

A better deal over the Macbooks imo. Only thing you lose out on really is that sexy miniLED display on the new Pros and Air

Would this be good for photo editing using Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro for video editing?

PS/LR, this will handle just fine. Pr it'll handle, but I wouldn't get this to do full time production. You really should be looking at the Pro/Max lineup for video if this will be a "more than a couple videos here and there" type of machine.

Maybe if you did one at a time, however consider purchasing a TB SSD storage because 256 GB is not that much for media, and also the config in this model is the "slow" one chip version.
So add a few hondo onto the build cost.

I have the m2pro and it is quite capable but the 512GB was pretty useless for my media needs I bought an Acasis TB SSD case and added 2 TB.

Its obviously a joke. These machines are appliances, and you aren't upgrading anything in them because Apple charges 10x the cost to upgrade any component and that is where they make all their margin. They aren't making squat on these (comparatively).

BTW the RAM is not on the die, it uses UMA which means the video and compute RAM are the same in a very fast bus but it is DDR5 memory. The term is SiP which is system in a package, however I get what you are saying and this is one os Apple's many marketing terms.

I guess one can argue its the same silicone, but regardless you aren't upgrading it.

You're probably better off spending more money and getting the M2 Pro model, which is also on sale.

I wonder when these will finally get 16gb ram minimum.

Someone will comment - well a entry level user doesn't need that.

But then I say - they also do not need the speed of am M2 nor even an M1.

Eventually they need to upgrade the ram and storage sizes for the base models.
