No problem with the customs but why troubling yourself while you can buy it locally? QUOTE(yankiat @ Jun 1 2015, 08:48 PM) Thanks mate! Any idea how much it costs?

Since I'm a novice at this I'm wary of adding the wrong ram and getting the warranty negated.

I lived in Penang and I'm also do not know any reputable or reliable shop here but you can refer the link that I shared earlier. I bought most of my computer parts online locally. You just have to find the right seller.

Yes, the list from lelong.com.my QUOTE(PeeEl @ Jun 7 2015, 08:21 PM) Can anyone help recommend a reliable and relatively cheap place to go change the SSD for MBA Mid 2011 model? Thanks in advance. MBA Mid 2011 uses a Blade PCIe type SSD which is not cheap. DIY always the best as you learn more about your Mac.

Any brand is ok but you will not get the SSD's optimum speed since your 2010 Mac only use SATA2 3Gbps interface. Most present SSD in the market uses SATA3 6Gbps interface. You can upgrade to SSD but you will only get half of it's speed. This post has been edited by feez98: Jun 11 2015, 11:49 PM
