adding memory to MBA 2013?

[vivithemage]

Is it possible to add memory? 4GB isn't cutting it, its paging hard, all day...and I only have a few apps open!

memory on the 2013 mba is soldered in place; no way to upgrade the RAM.

Reason to max the RAM and processor.

I had some dolt Apple Store employee tell me that 4GB was more than enough and you'd never need more.

4 GB is just enough.... to realize that you need 8 GB and to buy the next model but I still love

guess i'll just suck it up and stop using all of my memory, haha.

That's interesting. What programs are you running that are tying up all of your memory?

What do you have open? Because for a typical user 4GB should be enough. I run a VM on mine and I am good on 8.

My HD just died on my 2010 and I'm looking to an air with 128gb and 4gb RAM.

I run VM on mine with 4gb, iTunes open, Safari, Excel, etc... No probs

No. Should be fine with 4. Check for unneeded running processes.
