It is, there are kits. It will void the warranty and you should at least be somewhat comfortable being gentle and taking apart something that doesn't make it easy for you to take it apart. There's a great video here describing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJC73hm3VM4

Just wanted to chime in; it might not be relevant to everyone here, but Costco Visa no longer has extended warranty, so if you want to go beyond the two years, youll have to use a different card. It is generally one extra year for most of the visas, but (ironically), alot of other citi cards give you two extra years!

Microcenter has it at $450 and before you say you don't have a microcenter near you and call me names just go online at best buy and have them price match it to your nearest microcenter and have it shipped to you or picked-up locally.

Yes, you just need to have a spare Mac to use DFU mode and void your warranty if you swap the SSD.

They don't price match if you don't have a microcenter in your state though

And there were some recent issues with Best Buy not actually crediting the price match.. so ymmv. But yes base model has been $450 for a while at MC. The higher end models do go on and off sale often though.

it's more than being comfortable.... it's quite involved and only should be done if you are both an avid hobbyist AND willing to go through several attempts over hours to get it right, while risking damage.

I did a price match thru the Best Buy website. You have to purchase at full price first then they credit the difference but speak with them in chat before making the purchase.
