You may cancel the order before it ship out, then replace the new order. Of course, your shipping date will be pushed out. I think its okay rather than get the lower SSD storage size that's not suitable for your usage.

In this case, you may place new order. When you get this wrong spec one, just resell it off under sealed unit. I believe a lot ppl are willing to grab it from you rather than wait another 2-3 more weeks for Apple to deliver.
Oh wait, are you talking about me didnt upgrade the SSD? 512GB is sufficient for me at this point of time, so i opted for this.

Thanks bro, understood.

Bro, since haven't ship out, cancel your order and replace with 512 la.. Might as well go for the base 512GB with 8 cores GPU, coz you're upgrading RAM to 16GB anyway.
Delivery date difference not more than 2 weeks bah, its acceptable to wait for it, rather than sticking with 256GB for few years. Well, unless you are thicked pocket and changing in short term, then its not smth that should be worry about.

Hi there, may I know how you're getting the discounted price? It does not show up on Apple for me. Would be amazing it it could work on MBP too.

It happens automatically. I only realized the extra discounts after received their order confirmation email.

Hi everyone, do you think 7-core GPU is fine while I only use for web-surfing + Microsoft Office?

I'm taking Macbook Air (base model), then upgrade to 16GB and 512GB SSD
It's a bit cheaper than Macbook Air (8-core GPU) with 16GB/512GB

Hey bro, benchmark wise, it’s totally fine; but if you read around, some people raised worries with binned chips. Basically 7-core gpu chips are binned chips a.k.a rejected items so Apple sells them at lower price.

If you want a completely peace of mind, just opt for 8-core gpu.

More than enough.

Don’t worry about the extra 1 core, not gonna make much of a difference unless you’re into high processing task like video or photo editing. Gaming is subjective.

Hi everyone, I am planning to get a Macbook Air, and at the same time get the tax relief for this year. However, it seems that the new macbook is only for pre-order now and I never pre-order via Apple official store/machine/switch. Just wondering, does anyone know if the receipt shows the date I made the payment, or the date I get the laptop?
