      My DS initially wanted MBP but didn’t dont want to be the odd one out since most of them will get MBA.


      Finally order a 13" MBA with customized to 8gb ram via the school vendor. Vendor told me collection will be at least 20 working days.

        May I ask what's the price with the upgrade to 8gb ram? I am considering whether to get from Apple Store directly cos the original order form does not gave the 8gb ram.

          Yeah. We were thinking of doing the same. But not sure if Apple Store can do it immediately on the spot for you. Anybody tried adding RAM at the Apple store directly?

            Class list is out. My son in 1F


            My DS is in 1F too.

            Great. My DS told me his form teacher is a \"cheerful\" man.

            Did your DS share anything about his classmates or teachers?

              One hundred plus. Due to no special price for 8gb ram model.

              Getting from Apple store may be a bit troublesome and you cannot get educational price unless you have tertiary student pass.

                  From personal experience, even scoring A* for normal chinese may not be good enough to take HCL. DD and DS pri sch only starting to offer HCL at P5, both took HCL at P5 and pulled out after a year. DD failed her HCL and DS was last among the whole level. However, DD and DS scored A* and A in PSLE respectively. Just my personal experience and not to discourage others.

                      Once you bought a 4gb version, there is no way to upgrade.
