Hello everyone,
I recently bought the new aluminum 2.4 ghz macbook (first mac machine) and I am loving it. I bought the stock model that comes with 2gb 1066mhz ddr3 ram, and the store salesperson told me that if I wanted to upgrade the memory at anytime, I could just pay the same price that it would have cost me to get the macbook with 4gb online ($150 difference) and they would install it at the store for free. Today out of curiosity checked the apple store to see what options did I have if I wanted to upgrade the memory to 4gb. I was surprised to see that they only have the option of buying 4gb of memory instead of buying a 2gb dimm to add to the 2gb that I already have.
So I went back to the apple store website and saw that the stock models come with 2 (1gb so-dimms) and it all made sense. So my question is this: If I wanted to upgrade today to 4GB ram through apple, would I have to pay the $300 price for the 2 (2gb so-dimms) and basically do nothing with what I have inside, or was the sales guy correct in saying that they would charge me $150 to do it at the store?
Sorry for the long post. Any comments appreciated.
