Can BestBuy Upgrade The Mac's Ram If You Order Online?

[trevpimp]

Im gonna get a Mac Mini with only 1GB of Ram, I wanted to upgrade it to 2GB. The thing is, is that it has to be at BestBuy [Online]. The reason is because I like their warranties and its cheap for two years.

Now I can only get it online, so does that mean bestbuy orders it for me? if yes then maybe they can tell apple to upgrade it before they ship it to them?

I never ordered from BestBuy Online [Computer].

Thanks

Nope... At least not here in Canada.

No that's not possible, but if you aren't comfortable with doing the upgrade yourself, you can bring it to an Apple store to do the upgrade.

I don't think you can, because you are ordering a specific computer, not customizing. Maybe you can order through the geeksqaud at the retail store, and they can update it for you when it arrives?

But you can do it yourself, its super easy... So easy Apple will still cover it under warranty if you do it.

Oh............

Someone told me that they void the warranty once you open it, yeah I already know how to upgrade it

Thanks for tellin me about this.

Second thought, im gonna have a Geek Squad employee do it for me. They charge $39.99 for memory upgrade only(In-Store). They charge $49.99 for stuff like HDD, etc. (In-Store)

I know I can do it myself, but its kinda hard for me to open apart a $600 dollar computer the first day I get it and feel "safe". So im gonna have them upgrade it to a 4GB.
I have seen how the Geek Squad employees work, and boy do they know their stuff. iPod touch very corrupted and couldnt restore or anything, Gave to a Geek Squad guy and he figured it out in 10 Minutes. For some reason my battery also lasts longer too.
