[QUOTE="kaizersozay, post: 1301400, member: 216190"] I'm a developer and want to build an uber Mac Book Air. I'm new to the Apple platform however. I'm discouraged the MacBook Air has only 4gb mem and max 250-ish SSD drive. I need lots of virtual machines for different environments, and yes, 16gb is needed to load the Microsoft Server products like SharePoint for development. Has anyone tried, is it even possible to replace the built in ram and HD? Can I just buy these and pop em in - yes I realize I'll have to rebuild the machine with a fresh LIon install. Can the Lion OS or the processor in the MacBookAir utilize/see the 16gb memory if you can replace yourself? This is how I've done things in the PC world forever - is this a pipe dream for the MacBookAir? I'd even settle for 8gb RAM - although that is far from optimal. Thx for ideas. [/QUOTE]
