Quadrupled storage capacity for professional video editor
Video editor Jason needed more storage for his 4K video projects. We upgraded his MacBook Pro 2015 from 512GB to 2TB NVMe SSD, giving him 4x the storage for RM 980 - much cheaper than buying a new MacBook.

"Best decision ever! I was going to spend RM 10,000 on a new MacBook just for more storage, but Kevin suggested upgrading my 2015 MacBook Pro to 2TB. It cost less than RM 1,000 and now my MacBook has more storage than even the new models! The upgrade process was smooth - they cloned everything so I didn't have to reinstall anything. My Final Cut Pro projects now load faster because the new SSD is actually quicker than the original. I can work on multiple 4K projects simultaneously without running out of space. This will last me another 3-4 years easily. Saved me RM 9,000!"
