[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1600344, member: 110816"] Yup, the memory is soldered on, but the SSD is a stick that [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Air+11-Inch+Early+2014+SSD+Replacement/24762"]can be upgraded[/URL]. Recommendation depend on the use case. For my work, I have a top-of-the line Retina Macbook Pro which suits my needs. But this might be overkill for others.. So if your kids are using the MBA to take notes in class, browse the web, send emails or something. Then the MBA's are fine. If they are going into engineering and will need to run simulations, install a lot of software and code and run applications in emulators/simulators and so on, perhaps the MBP is a better fit for those..
