The 5600M is an upgrade over the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M, which was previously the top-of-the-line option offered on the 16-inch model. (You can now spec the 16-inch model out to $6,699, up from $6,099, if you were to select the max hardware configuration.) ItвЂ™s either a $700 or $800 upcharge, depending on which tier of the MacBook Pro youвЂ™re buying. That model now offers an upgrade to the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, a new high-end option thatвЂ™s significantly pricier than what was already offered. Instructions will be available on AppleвЂ™s website.ДЄpple introduced one other Mac upgrade today: a new GPU option for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. These kits are meant to be installed by the customer themselves. ItвЂ™s also a little surprising to see from Apple - even though the Mac Pro is a machine thatвЂ™s meant to be expanded and customized, Apple doesnвЂ™t often encourage people to tinker with their devices. This is the first time Apple has offered an official kit for upgrading the machineвЂ™s SSD. Mac Pro owners could already expand their storage by purchasing third-party components, but that expansion had to use a PCIe slot, rather than replacing the SSD directly.

That storage will replace the machineвЂ™s existing SSD, so this kit is really designed for buyers who originally configured the Mac Pro with a smaller SSD option (it can go as low as 256GB), rather than people who already picked a larger SSD and still want to add more capacity. The kit, which Apple tells The Verge should be available later today, includes options for up to 8TB of storage. Apple will begin selling an SSD kit for the Mac Pro that allows buyers to add more storage to the high-end desktop computer.
