1.4 or 1.6 C2D option missing in Online store

[Phil96]

I have made an observation after the online store was down a couple of hours ago. If you navigate to configuration page of the MacBook air on apples online store, you no longer have the option to select the 1.4 or 1.6 Core 2 Duo processors. Could this be a sign that apple is releasing a new model with a new processor soon?

I am sorry if I am mistaken, I am awaiting the new MacBook air with great anticipation.

That seems to indicate that they've ran out of the upgraded processor?

 

[Oppressed]

What do you mean? Its right there.

1.4/1.6 are only for 11 models and your link leads to 13 inch models.

Oppressed, it seems like something happened to the link that I provided at the beginning.

However, now both models are missing the upgradable processors:

11 inch

13 inch

I am thinking the same thing as reclusive46, that apple has run out of the upgraded processors and will hopefully update soon.

Interestingly, the 2 or 4 gigs of RAM option still remains. Could this indicate that the new air will have the same RAM configurations?

They don't let you upgrade the processor on the base models I believe

 

[Abstract]

Yes, you can still upgrade the processor. You've never been able to upgrade the CPU on the base models of either MBA, while the 4 GB RAM upgrade has always been available on both models.


And this thread got me all excited.

All upgrade options are available. There is a slight 1-3 day delay for some components, but not all.

Weird, the option to upgrade the processor from 1.86 to 2.13 is gone, but they say the option is still there.

Mistake by apple in the picture below, you can see them offering up gradable processor, but that no longer exists.

The option is not gone. I don't know where you all are getting this information. I just took a screenshot of the upgrade to 2.13 on the 13".

Seriously guys..

Only the 128 gb 11" and the 256 gb 13" have ever had the ability to upgrade the processor.. And you just made me all excited

 

[Phil96]

skitzogreg, I don't understand how you can get a different screen than me. Are you using the U.S store? Because this is what I am getting on both models:

 

[Phil96]

Ok I see where I am wrong now. Thank you for replying, I guess I was blinded by my anticipation. I wasn't aware that the base models couldn't be upgraded. Sorry for any inconvenience.

It was stated SEVERAL times.

I mean, it would have been a nice observation, but this just created excitement, and then it was CRUSHED again
