4 Reasons the Intel NUC 13 Keeps SO-DIMM Upgrades Alive

Uses standard DDR4 SO-DIMM slots Unlike most modern Macs, the Intel NUC 13 Arena Canyon relies on replaceable SO-DIMM memory modules rather than soldered RAM.

Supports up to 64GB of memory You can install up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM yourself, giving you room to expand as your needs grow.

No soldering required Upgrading memory is as simple as popping in new sticks — no special tools or technical skills needed.

Keeps upgrade costs low Because it uses common DDR4 SO-DIMMs, you can buy cheaper aftermarket RAM instead of paying a premium for pre-soldered configurations.
