Can I buy an upgraded 13" MBA right off the shelf?

Hi, this will be my first time to buy a macbook that's why I'm not sure how it really goes. I am planning to buy a 13" MBA with Core i7 and 8GB RAM upgrades when I go to Hongkong this March. Can I buy it off the shelf? or do I need to order it first and have to wait for few days?
Hope to get our response. Thank you!

short answer - you will have to customise it online
they sometimes have popular upgraded models in stock but less common configurations are usually online only. with the model you said i would say theres a slim chance of getting one off the shelf. it would also depend on the store (e.g. the big one in new york probably has all models in stock whereas some small store in a shopping center in texas somewhere probably only has a couple)
one more thing - if you researched it already then just ignore this but i'm not sure if you can do the order & collect in hong kong or if its for US only, apple like to give the yanks lots of nice treatment then taunt the rest of us with them

  • Just cracked the box open to a fresh macbook pro. What useless things can I delete to maximize disc space right off the bat?

    While I have time, I just want to get rid of that useless stuff!
    So lay it on me! What can go?

    I agree, many of the freebies you get when starting up a new Mac may prove useful down the road. And your 128GB SSD may prove insufficent soon enough, no matter how much "useless" stuff gets dumped anyway.
    Better start saving for a bigger SSD. You'll probably find that for the same $200 you paid for your piddly 128G you can find non-Apple-branded units of twice the capacity or more.

    No. You can only buy a completely new license of Acrobat X.

  • My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    Even a four-year-old MacBook should have come with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Leopard can run the latest version of iTunes; it will download and install pretty much automatically if you run Software Update.
    You might first have to be sure that you are running the latest version of Leopard, which is 10.5.8. This, too, will download and install for you if you run Software Update. Just keep running Software Update until there is nothing left to download and install (you might have to run it more than once because some updates require previous updates to be installed first).
    If you have a version of Mac OS X earlier than 10.5, then you can't run the latest version of iTunes. You will need to buy a more recent version of Mac OS X. You must be running at least 10.4 Tiger, and you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for about $30 and you might find it slightly less at a retailer or on eBay. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, you will be able to upgrade to Lion using the Mac App Store for another $30 or so if your MacBook meets the minimum system requirements.

  • When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.

    The ones sold that day will come with Snow Leopard most likely but they will be able to get a free upgrade to LIon if they apply within 30 days. Hardware coming through the supply chain from the day of the announcement will have Lion installed so it depends what stock people have to move before buyers see those.

  • So I forgot the answers to my security questions and in order to reset them I need to answer them? Help? I can't buy anything and I don't see the option to resend them...

    So I forgot the answers to my security questions and in order to reset them I need to answer them? Help? I can't buy anything and I don't see the option to resend them...

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the link then that implies that you don't have one and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been resetyou can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    Help! I just purchased a US sim card/monthly pre-paid plan (i am from Canada) as I am travelling in the states for a month, and when I went to restore the iphone, it didn't work.

    Hold on,
    Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
    What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
    Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
    Backup in iTunes
    Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
    Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
    Wait for unlock notification.
    Restore the backup.

    I am not fromUK, but it happens that I'll be visiting UK in a couple of days( to Harrow) and would like to know if I can purchase it from stores other than from the apple for about the same price.

  • Can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the six plus? Like you can for the 6.

    can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the 6 plus?

    There are 2 separate issues here:
    - The Apple 30 pin to USB cable was redesigned to remove the 2 button squeeze feature pricesley because of your issue with the buttons falling off and consumers being unable to disconnect the cords.  The newly redesigned cable removes these 2 side buttons for a shorter 30 pin connector that will work just fine in Apple devices.  If there is an ergonomic reason for wanting the larger 2 button design you can buy a host of 3rd party Apple 30 pin to USB cables on the market.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=3a
    http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Meter-Charging-Cable-iPhone/dp/B004SBBD8U/ref =sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1370983635&sr=1-5&keywords=30+pin+apple+usb - 3rd party Apple 30 pin USB cable that should replace the functionality you are looking for.
    - The issue of your iPad reporting that it isn't charging is a DIFFERENT issue.  Your USB cable is FINE.  The reason you are getting this message is beacuse the Power Adaptor that the USB cable plugs into isn't providing enough electrical juice.  If you are plugging your USB cable into your PC it might not be getting enough power.  If you are plugging it into your iPhone Power Adaptor (5W) it isn't strong enough to charge your iPad with it on (it will trickle charge if you have your iPad off).  What you need is the Apple 12W charger for iPad.  Your original power adapter that came with you iPad 2 was a 10W charger that Apple no longer sells.  Make sure the USB cable you are using it plugged into either a 10W or 12W power adapter!  http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/ipad_accessories/power
    Tech speak if interested: the 12W charger uses the USB cable to detect which iPad is connected and gives it 1 AMP for iPhone, 2.1 AMP for iPad 1,2 & Mini and 2.4 AMP for iPad 3&4.

    I don't see any unlocked phone on the web site.
    If you're outside the USA you can't buy one where without coming here and getting it.  Even then it is not a good idea because the warranty is only good in the USA.

    Hi everybody! I forgot my security questions to my Apple ID, now I can't buy anything! How do I get the answers to or change my security questions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Can i buy a widows office for mac at the store?

    can i buy a widows office for mac at the store?

    Windows office for Mac is not a product. Microsoft Office for Mac is.
    Office Mac Home and Student 2011 - 1PC/1User [Download]
    You are running Windows, via Boot Camp, you would buy from Amazon or direct if you need Office for Windows.
    If you are running Mac there is Office for Mac 2011, again, try Amazon and other outlets.
    Some can get along with Pages and Numbers, though others need the actual Word, Excel etc.
    I gave up on OpenOffice and its cousins but those are other options.
