Apple recently upgraded its store with some new upgrades for its MacBook 16 in terms of graphics cards and SSD drive upgrades. All these things will be available through the Apple stores in your country or from their website if you want.

Let’s head toward checking out some details and specifications of this upcoming device.

The MacBook 2019 was released with an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M graphics processing unit which is available for a $200 price option. According to some sources, this new graphics configuration will deliver you more than 75% performance than the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M. The old configuration was Radeon Pro 5500M which is a DDR6 based chip with memory up to 4GB. Also, this configuration is about 3.5 times better than the Apple MacBook 15 inches. Currently, Apple has not provided the new configuration price in some countries including India and other countries but in the US it’s about $700 additional with the price of MacBook 16.

With graphics card upgrades this new configuration is also going to get SSD upgrade options where you can get several options. If you own a MacBook Pro 16 you can get this upgrade which is available in several storage configurations including 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB. Also, you can install these new configurations without having any technical support from customer care.

The price of 1TB SSD upgrade will cost you more than $600 while the 8TB upgrade is super expensive and costs $2800.
