I tried looking for this topic, but can't find it anywhere. By now everybody knows that MBPs run these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo

But will an MBA run this (a friend is asking)? He has i7-2677M processor. Intel's website says max is 1333MHz on their spec sheet. But that's what they said about MBPs and yet they run them at 1600MHz no problem. Has anybody tried the upgrade on their MBA?

Any Ram upgrade is a no go on the MBA as it is soldered onto the board.
