upgrade memory? if you order from apple, you are given upgrade options, such as more memory and larger hard drive, both of which are relatively inexpensive, and I would like to have if you order here at amazon, are there any customization options?

I think there is no customize option. But you can buy memory or HDD at eBay cheaper than applestore with own risk. I got 1G mem (2x 512K mem) by $76 at eBay and it's working fine with my macbook. This is an another option.

I don't think we can upgrade since those are customized. I think Amazon will only carry the two general versions, not built to order editions.

These are sold with the specs listed here. We have also listed customized models with upgrades. We do have one with 32GB RAM and 2x256GB mSATA SSD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJYA4BI. If you have other customization requests feel free to send us a message and we can list it on Amazon for you.

Hello,I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance?Thanks.

This is not one of the base configurations for the MacBook Air, and thus Amazon.com won't offer it (it has never offered more than base configurations in the past). If you would like 8 GB of RAM in your Air, the most popular options is to order it from the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_air/selectI understand that B&H; may offer some 8 GB configurations, but you're guaranteed to get exactly what you want if you order it from the online Apple Store. That's what I did for mine - I have the 13"/i5/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD configuration.

Agreed. I love amazon but this is ridiculous! You can buy a brand new third gen nano with 8gb (twice the memory of this) for $199 online at apple.com. And they're selling the 2nd gen ones as refurbished for $99.

Your system might be different, but mine ordered a couple of weeks ago had 4Gb of memory. The hard drive is 500Gb. It's certainly the minimum you would want, but the system is dirt cheap and you can add memory.

Hi M Long,COuld I ask exacetly what you did to upgrade your ram yourself? I know that if we do upgrades ourself and break or damage anything, that could cause the warrenty for the lap top to be void by apple, so I just wanted to make sure I could do it or rather take the right stepthanksKenny

I'm considering upgrading the memory- does anyone know where the cheapest and most reliable place is to buy compatible mac memory?

I would serch Amazon for memory for that particular version of MacBook. That's what I did for my iMac i3

It should be more then enough. Yes you can upgrade later, and you can do it yourself. I've done this once before on a Sony and it was so easy! Plus the RAM is a lot cheaper when bought from another retailer and not Apple

As far as I know you cannot add memory so it's limited, but I run 8.1 - a little slow at times ,could be other reasons. I bought mine a year ago, there may be better options now. Look around before buying.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

John. I guess Amazon is still selling Mountain Lion. The upgrade happened two weeks ago ... But if you buy from Amazon, you can make the upgrade later. It's free. I advice you to buy 256GB. I've bought 128GB and now I need an external HD.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

As of March 3rd... Apple has shipped some from their online store and local stores have had some limited inventory. I asked Sunday afternoon at my local Apple store. They had two being used on display and said that they had sold some but no longer had any in inventory. The Apple online store indicates that they ship within 5-7 business days. I predict it will take a little while yet before Amazon starts to fulfill orders.As of March 15... Local Apple store still did not have any in stock. I do note that the 1TB version is soldout at BestBuy and they have dropped the price from $499 to $424, the 500GB version is also sold out at BestBuy and has price dropped from $299 to $254.

According to what I found out The 21.5 inch iMac does not have the ability to change out the RAM if you want to upgrade. But do not take my word for it. Do some research as things change so rapidly with computers, as you know new os'es are coming out faster each year. New intel chips too with imacs etc. It wont be a bad idea to talk to apple about this question as well. You can log on to their apple store website and launch a chat with a rep and ask this same question they might guide you to the best imac for you that may be able to upgrade or you never know this imac now may be able to upgrade as I said changes happen quickly to many of these devices that its hard to keep up. Speaking to a representative at apple will help you as well. I hope this has been at least some guidance for you. Good Luck with your search and your purchase.
