call apple hotline and check la...

i think ur order will stick at old spec..unless they dont have any store for old spec anymore..so just shipping with new item...but i dont think so...

izzit its fair to Apple if u already place order on old spec..but cancel and wanna change a new spec within a week? who wanna bear the loss? its risky everywhere in the world..

You shouldn't have any problem. I think Apple will allow you to return it  for a new spec one. Speaking from experience here. I bought Mid-2010 MBP three weeks before the Early-2011 MBP came out. I called Apple Sales hotline then Apple SG returned my call and within the same day, they okayed the return of my 3 week old MBP for a new Sandy Bridge one. They even offered to arrange for DHL to pick-up my old MBP foc.

Further info for you. In my case, Apple SG required me to place a new order for a new MBP. After I'd done that and they had verified it, they arranged for DHL to come pick-up the old one. From what they told me, the old MBP was sent back to SG where they checked it and after everything is OK, they processed the refund to my CC. That took about 2.5 weeks.

Let us know how yours goes. Good luck.

I called the online Apple Store number. The same one for phone orders. 1800-80-6419. I might have called Applecare number also. One of them got someone from Singapore to call me.

No probs. I didn't do anything but relate my experience. Nevertheless fantastic! So glad it worked out for you and fast too. Did the Applecare guys do it on the spot for you? Or did they have someone from the SG office call you? No need to pay for couriering the old one back to them right?

I wonder what would have happened if it had been a HP or Dell or Acer. Though I expect Dell to have comparable customer service.
