and now she's got the MacBook Air, which is astonishing, I have to say.īecause, my Mini, which I thought I could ramp up to 21st century speed given my previous experience, has ALWAYS been slow, slow, very slow. I've got a 'late 2012' Mac Mini, which I was excited to get as I'm 'apple to the Core', as they say: previously, Mac classic, iMac DVD (1999), 13" PowerBook, gave daughter 2010 MacBook, have iPad Mini, iPhone 5C. Okay, excuse the length of this, but I've been working on this for awhile. I would not risk it, far better to sell it secondhand or trade in against a new one. Note: No way is your average PC store going to have the right tools for this level of work.Īny such attempt to replace the original memory chips this way would definitely invalidate the warranty. (I had a 128K Mac upgraded to a 512K Mac by swapping the original soldered chips.) However as the current chips are surface mounted/glued to the logic and chips have far higher density connections then they used to this is nowhere near as straight forward as the old days. Hypothetically yes an engineer with the right tools could possibly remove the current chips and fit new ones. Obviously the iMac runs it faster due to the faster CPU but I have no complaints about how well my MBA runs it. BTW I’m running Photoshop 5.5 on a 2011 MBA with 4GB and a 2013 iMac with 16GB and an SSD. With the correct tools and patience it isn’t that bad. Also, check iFixit’s guides to see what is involved for a DIY upgrade - it looks worse than it is. As mentioned above, Apple doesn’t upgrade computers but an independent Apple provider will.
