You can upgrade the CPU to a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, the memory to 32GB, and the storage to 1, 2, or 4TB. The four-port config starts with a 2GHz quad-core 10 th-generation Core i5, newer Iris Plus graphics with 64 execution units 16GB of 3733MHz LPDDR4X memory, and 512GB of storage with read/write up to 3GB/s. The cheapest two-port spec comes equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core 8 th generation Intel Core i5 CPU, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory at 2133MHz, and 256GB of solid-state storage. (The 4-port configurations start at $1,799.) But going to those 10 th-genР вЂ™Р’В CPUs and four Thunderbolt ports makes a big difference.
