Is it possible to buy an 11" with either 64GB or 128GB storage and 4GB of RAM at Apple Retail Stores? I know some stores sell "ultimates", but I really don't need the 1.6 processor upgrade that comes with the "ultimate". I'm looking to buy one tomorrow (my Apple stores are currently closed or I'd call them). Thanks in advance!
Got a tip for us?

Thanks. Apple Online Store told me that stores don't carry anything besides the base models with 2GB of RAM, they told me I would have to order from the online store to get an 11" with 4GB of RAM. They told me that the only options I have is a base model or an "ultimate" which would be 128 storage, 4GB of RAM, and a 1.6GHz processor. They said there are only base models with 2GB of RAM, or ultimate with 128 GB, 4GB of RAM, and 1.6GHz processor. I live in Northern NJ and called the Apple 5th Avenue Store since it's opened 24 hours and my stores were closed. They said they do not sell any models with 4GB of RAM except for "ultimates". I can only get 4GB by ordering through Apple's Online Store.
Between the Apple Online Store rep and employee at 5th avenue store contradicting each other. I guess my best bet is to call my Apple Retail Store tomorrow to see what they have.
Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate it.
Hi Jimmie,
What he Apple online store told you is absolutely wrong. Whether this person was ignorant, or wanted you to buy online, who knows.
It's the same thing as when you call support about a know issue you are experiencing, and seeing hundreds or thousands of other people with the same issue on forums at Apple's web site, and Apple says your the first they have heard of it.
Also try asking an in store Apple employee some questions about product, and they have no clue. Go to an Apple store and you will be able to purchase from the store the configuration you want. They are selling three models. Base, Base with 4GB, Ultimate with 1.6 Ghz, 4GB ram, and 128 GB ssd.

Thanks. I'm going to my Apple Store today. I'll post back how it goes. Thanks for everyone's help!
