16GB, no?
 
Is there a way to install 16GB RAM on a macbook air ?

They're dicks and solder the RAM in place on most Macbook Airs. You can double the RAM on most models when you order one, but can't be upgraded after..

Not that I know of, but I'll look around for a solution.

They say buy a PC :)))

Just happened to work with HUUUUUUGE PSDs print res for an event booth, man, that was kinda doable but not nice.

I agree with colmike, never heard of any normal person who has successfully upgraded their RAM on a Macbook Air.

They charge quite a bit to add it when you order one, fully aware that this is basically your only chance to change the RAM. Live and learn, next time, make sure to order with the maximum RAm already from the start.

There is a way but its not pretty. Here is a how to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTsEJ49LLsQ

Probably a good idea to make sure the motherboard your macbook air can actually handle 16GB. Otherwise you will do all that work for nothing.

Hope next time there will be a unibody PC that runs as quiet as a Mac and stays cold.

I thought of doing something like that, but if you've never done any advanced soldering (Not just little things here and there) then you're most likely going to break it. As well as possible compatibility issues^.

I haven't worked at Apple in about 10 years, either, I'd call up an engineer if I still could. :upsidedow

By a normal notebook which can be extended.

My wife uses Lenovo Ideapad. It's thin, cold and silent as dead, because it has no single fan inside. I've extended its memory to 8GB, but there is no problem to put there 16GM or 32GB if necessary.

of course, but you need the same ram on both departments, otherwise...

but not macbook air
