[I posted this in the purchase guide too]
Hey guys. I was thinking of getting the 13" 128GB Macbook Air with 4GB ram. I would like to know if it runs well with Photoshop? And what are the interest rates like if I purchase it from the online store using credit card? Thanks!! |

Anyone had a problem purchasing the Air 13" using credit card online? And if I get the iWork 2010 pre-installed, how am I going to install it when I reformat?

One last question, can I pay by installments if I buy from the online store? I know I can't but is there any other way? Maybe from Maybank or something?

I'm planning on visiting Machines tomorrow to get my 13" Macbook Air.
If I want to add more ram and upgrade the processor, how long will it take till I receive the set? |

QUOTE(SoulReaver @ Nov 30 2010, 02:24 AM) I think you can only purchase upgrades via Apple's Online Webstore.... It will take around 3 days to start shipping from Shanghai.. I asked Machines, they said they can do it. I was just wondering how long it took other people who did the same thing.  |

@The Sifu, you can custom order at Machines. The only downside of it is that it will take 2-3 weeks. I'm getting mine today. They also have installment plan for custom orders (Y)

Just purchased the Macbook Air 13" on the Apple Store. I got the mouse and super drive too. Hopefully the money was worth it.
Add: BTW, I ordered already but I haven't received the confirmation email yet. Any idea why? And I selected to pre-install iWork. How do I go about re-installing it later? This post has been edited by JusticeDeserves: Dec 1 2010, 06:02 PM |

QUOTE(OmniAtlas @ Dec 4 2010, 08:00 PM) Hey all, I'm planning to place an order for a Macbook air 11" within the next couple days. It will be upgraded to 1.6 ghz, 4 gb ram; I am not in Malaysia at the moment but I have heard the upgrade models are not in stock and will need to be custom built. I placed my order on the first of this month. They said that I'll received it in 8-10 days like OmniAtlas mentioned.Do you guys know how long from placing the order will it take to have the item delivered either via the Apple store, or directly from a retailer (such as Mac City, or Machines)? I will only be in KL for a few weeks, so I need to know how long it will take to ship. Thanks. 
I had some payment issues, so I called Apple on the second day and confirmed everything. I've not yet received the two mouse and drive which I think I should be receiving by Monday/Tuesday and the Macbook Air itself by Thursday/Friday.

Hey guys. Is it normal for the Macbook Air to heat up above the keyboard on the left? Is the hard drive/flash drive that's causing it?

I was using my MBA 13" with an external monitor. Then when I touch the laptop, I get some small shocks(tingle). If I remove the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, I don't get the shocks. Any idea why?

QUOTE(wiraone @ Dec 9 2010, 07:37 AM) Make sure your external monitor is properly 'grounded' (electrically) .. does it have three-pins plug? Do you have this external monitor plugged into a power strip/block? Try to plug the power cable straight to the wall socket, might be the power strip/block is broken (i.e. not grounded properly). Haha, okay. Will try in awhile and post an update later. Thanks! |
