I've been thinking about upgrading my mac, but it
might void the warrinty.
I'm wondering why offer more
memory or better uppgrades when you can't install it
yourself and the apple store won't do it?
If that's
the case then the apple company really dons'nt care
about the consumer and all they care about is money.
don't get me wrong I like the machine but at the time
i bought it i could'nt afford the higher end mac so i
just figured uppgrade as i go. but because of the
siuation i have to buy a brand new mac mini wth all
upgrades.

Interestingly, not all AASPs charge Apple's price for
RAM. I got my own RAM upgrade from an Apple Center in
I don't like being called an "Appologist". Not only
is this word deprecatory, but it is also rather ugly
(not agreeable to watch). Why don't you just use
"Apple fanatic" ?
i live in sanbernadino c.a. and theres a comp usa not
to far away and theres a apple store one city away
about 35-45 minutes. so who is the one i should go to?
I actually just wonderd if they (the apple store)
would install a bigger memory chip and i could still
be under warrenty.
cause i don't have to do it
myself, I don't want to do it myself because I'mnot
an apple tech. also i wanted to upgrade my cd burner
to a super drive and they(the apple store) told me to
get a external burner and they don't put in super
drives. but theres a web site that sells all kinds of
upgrades. should i buy these parts and have apple
store install them?
I would personally either purchase your own memory, or buy it at an Apple dealer. Then, take it to an Authorized Service Center for installation (if you are wanting someone else to install it).
installed. The folks at the Apple store will ONLY
install RAM that they sell.
Yes, an Apple Authorized Service Provider will
install any RAM for you, but even though an Apple
retail store is an AASP, the Mac Genius at an
Apple retail store will only install RAM you buy
there.
My personal preference would be the dedicated Apple Store.
