I am planning to get a MacBook Air 11" Early 2015 can the Ram and the flash storage be upgraded? If yes, What would be the BEST options? Please help guys.
You can request an upgrade during purchase. You cannot upgrade RAM and cannot economically upgrade flash storage post purchase. My personal opinion is that current applications require at least an i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 500GB storage. But it really all depends on 2 main factors: 1/ Intended use: browsing the Internet, using office apps, and exchanging E-mails really don’t require more than the basic/standard configuration of processor and RAM; no need to upgrade for that. However, more storage is always better if you have lots of media (music, photos, video), and/or if you are backing-up other devices to your laptop, and/or if you have a large amount of data that you need to migrate from your previous laptop or desktop. 2/ Future proofing: if you’re the type who keeps a laptop for more than 3 years, you’d better get a more powerful unit in terms of processor, RAM, and even storage, so that your unit will last you 5 years (perhaps more) and still be able to handle more powerful apps and softwares, and store more and more media since we are moving towards more and more media-rich contents in everything we handle today. In summary, and this being just my personal opinion, the best basic option should be the i5/4/256. The best upgraded option should be the i5/8/512 or if you can afford the difference or need the computing power: i7/8/512.
Sorry, Apple has confirmed that the MacBook and MacBook Air models (all) have non-upgradeable RAM. This is regrettable as I also have an Air 11’ from mid-2013 and it is entirely inadequate for both Mavericks and especially Apple’s latest OS Yosemite. For the record, I do not recommend deploying the latest OS in any situation. It has inherent security flaws that the company refuses to acknowledge nor patch (root kit exploits!).
No way , you can’t upgrade RAM of Macbook Air. Apple made this model very slim and solder the RAM directly inside motherboard.
there is a chance, test your skills… https://youtu.be/CTsEJ49LLsQ
