8gb option is a HUGE request. Any idea of when or if this will be added?

This is not one of the base configurations for the MacBook Air, and thus Amazon.com won't offer it (it has never offered more than base configurations in the past). If you would like 8 GB of RAM in your Air, the most popular options is to order it from the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_air/select I understand that B&H may offer some 8 GB configurations, but you're guaranteed to get exactly what you want if you order it from the online Apple Store. That's what I did for mine - I have the 13"/i5/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD configuration.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

no you don't need more than 8GB, however, if you plan on keeping your computer for 5 years or more, you should consider the 16GB, because every time they add features to a new OS they memory usage becomes more demanding. After 5 years or so 8GB may become insufficient. That's if you like upgrading to the newest OS (operating system) every year, like me. The 16GB option keeps your computer more future friendly. You could always upgrade it later on, but I decided to get the 16GB option to avoid the hassle of having to install additional RAM later on.

Haha yes just be sure you have the 250 gb option selected. I know they merge various versions under the same reviews so just be careful.

I added 4Gb to bring my total up to 8gb. Don't think it would accommodate 8gb stick.

you can use a single 8 gb without problem, but you should know that its the top of memory capability...

Yes. During the update I think it asked me if I want to use external storage space. Works great.

Just found out that it can support 16GB (2x8GB)(see review and comments posted today by Cullen J. Delmore)

the "8gbs" is really just for stuff you downloadso unless you download all your games, it should not be a problem

Your getting a 4GB instead of 2GB. The last time a spent a little more for this type of update I never regretted it. Other 4GB cards are a lot more spendy than this one.

I am also wondering the same thing. But I don't think there should be any difference between the 8GB and 16GB models

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

U can add up to 32gb from a micro SD card. Speed is ok,it's all depends on the speed of your internet

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

Hi, there. This item is 16gb, just like it says in the title. I have no idea what 4gb in feature list is refer to. I didn't see it before. May be a mistake.

You sure can... up to 64 GB I believe. For me, the 16GB that comes with it are way enough :)
