Doesn't look like I'm allowed to upgrade the RAM (with a $300 Logic Board replacement) on my M2 Mac Mini. I thought 8 was going to be sufficient for every day use, but I was sadly mistaken. The only part available to me to purchase is the 8GB Logic Board.
Of course. The point of this program is not to allow repairs or upgrades. It's so Apple can say "you don't need a right to repair act that effects our products, look, we already have a repair program!"
But 8 GB of RAM in a MAC is like 16 GB of RAM in any other computer! That’s what Apple said!
Jokes aside, I’ve got the M1 Air with 16 GB and I idle around 14/15 when working hard. It’s a shame it’s so expensive to do this little upgrade on Mac.

They still charging the same for DIY parts as they do for the repairs themselves?
