Omai... Just received mine today. Claim your WARRANTY. Apple is quite good.
I had an iPad Pro unable to turn on after a few days. Apple replaced a new one for me.

Sent to AASP already to check

Any idea how it happened? any damage or pressure on the Mac when storing in bags etc? its so thin..

only few days old, put on laptop stand to use only. not even take out go cafe or anything. The day I bag it is the day i send to center lol.

Ok, unfortunately got a lemon unit. Hope you get your replacement fast !

Fingers crossed claim with no issues

Can i get 8g ram macbook air at physical apple resller store and request them to upgrade another 8g for me on the spot?

no

Macbooks are non upgradeable. So you need to buy the spec you want from the start. Most likely need to customize online apple store for 16gb ram. Retail mostly selling base 8gb ram/256gb ssd or 512gb ssd.

No. RAM, ssd and basically everything else is soldered onto the motherboard. Not just plug and play.

I’m sure someone out there can add ram for you in the future by reconfiguring the MB but not for now, especially when it is under warranty.

And to answer your question, NO. They don’t sell any other specs other than the 2 pre configured specs in retail shops (Switch or Machines). Can only get it online and it is shipped from China.

Just wondering how to choose 8g or 16g? I dont play game.

Just wondering should i go for 8g or 16g? I dont play games on laptop and use it for work, microsoft office etc only.

Just office work, browsing etc 8gb is enough.

I got 16GB.

I use mostly for browsing (safari and Chrome), Some Microsoft office work, watching youtube, and downloading stuff.

On normal usage, I can already use about 9GB of RAM. It just shows that if you have more RAM, MacOS can definitely make use of it.

No, you need to learn a couple of things. Apple's current set of Apple Silicon doesn't use the traditional RAM but rather unified memory that is fabricated as part of the whole SOC. Hence, you would need to specify it at time of order. If you go to places like Mac Studio or certain shops, they can order it for you and then you just pay them at the counter. I know some other places, they just say order online. Now, for the older Macs, Apple has been a PITA as well because they soldered the RAM directly on the board and it isn't slotted in as per what you might think with traditional laptops.

I have a MBP M1 with 8Gb from the office. Because of all of the additional software installed, from endpoint protection to numerous background services, 8Gb tends to slow down a lot and the laptop tends to utilize up to 90% of memory most of the time. I would sincerely recommend for 16Gb.

If i order a 16g ram macbook air online, is it possible to receive by 27th?

Why dont you try to order it..you can see the estimated delivery date even before checkout. i doubt can get this month 27th.

Guys is there a way to buy apple care for 1 year instead of buying 3 years???

Unfortunately that isn't available here in Malaysia but if you are in Singapore or another location where there is AppleCare+, that comes in either 1 year or 3 years.
