How to upgrade RAM in Macbook Air 2011

Jerrod,

I misread a few words in your original post. If you already have 4 Gb, that is all the 2011 will support anyway. There is no 2011 MBA with larger than 4 GB.

You would have to buy a 2012 edition to even find one with 8 Gb.

Your machine right now should serve you well. I wouldn't fret too much. It is likely you will get quite a bit of use, before you find that more than 4 Gb is needed or wanted.

I am really impresed considering I wouldn't even glance at a PC with the same specs.

4 gig is plenty to run 95% of everything out there, $500 you got it for is a great price if its in good condition etc.

My old Air I sold off only had 2 gig of RAM and would do everything and run video and download and have 20 web tabs open all at once.

Honestly, you dont "need" more RAM,.....you said youre happy with it.

You can't upgrade the RAM.

The additional cost of remedy of replacing the logic board with a larger amount of RAM would probably, in total, exceed the value of the computer.

Far less expensive to sell it, then buy the one you need/want.
