If the ram is upgradable later I will get my 2.6ghz with 8gb ram from Switch and I will be using it now.

I didn't buy the ACPP. Can I buy it later? How much you paid for the ACPP? What is the benefits?
*
you can buy the ACPP as long as your 1st year default warranty hasnt ended

price and benefit you have to refer apple website

Does that mean I can activate at the end of 1st year for another 3 years warranty... ie 1+ 3=4 years warranty?
*
you need activate it before your 1st year ends, the benefit of doing it later is you dont have to pay so much upfront

Does anyone know any shops that already have cases for the MBP Retina? like sleeves (that really fit it) and also cases (such as Speck SeeThru)

DDR1600 is still quite rare in the market, even for desktop. And another thing, asking for a RAM upgrade at an Apple Store is madness in itself.

DDR3 1600MHz for desktop is quite common already, for laptop still rare

Closest think to a "refreshed" batch is wait for it to come preloaded with OSX mountain lion

So bootcamp is something like a must if we wan to boot windows in Mac ? haha

Appreciate your reply bro  smile.gif

if not wrong paralles can read windows from bootcamp partition

so you should install windows to bootcamp, use paralles to open windows by reading the bootcamp partition

only restart and switch to windows when parallels cant handle the application

planning to get a MacBook Air... Any comment about MacBook Air? 11" or 13" better?

I know the files from the Windows partition can be accessed, what I meant is whether the partition can be used to run as a OS inside Parallels directly?
*
Yes, it will run as OS in parallels.

Basically parellels run off the bootcamp partition rather than create a separate image file
