just picked up a 13" base model at the Orland Square Mall in Orland Park. IL.
They guy said they had "A bunch"

Any word on them having 4GB ram models in stock, or are we looking at an online purchase only for those that want the upgrade?
Just Curious
I was wondering if you guys know if the Apple Stores that do not have any of the new MBAs would they still be selling the old ones prior to the new ones? Would they be cheaper now than before or would they not have them at all? I may sound dumb but hey I really do not care just curious is all.

Natick, MA
Natick Collection Store has the stock 11 and 13 inch models on display and in stock. They cannot take them out of the crate fast enough.
By the way, Apple Store salesperson (who I know is knowledgeable from previous conversations) insists that the stock 2GB Ram is upgradeable in store starting within a week or so. He states that only the initial 2GB is soldered and that there is a slot for additional 2GB Ram wafer.

Best to check the online Apple 'clearance' or 'refurbished' section. As far as i'm aware, they don't sell the older ones in-store.
Thanks for the tip I will have to look that up. I did look on ebay and it doesnt seem like those prices had dropped yet.
Check the refurb store after midnight, they update the online stores every day. Might get lucky

HA I hope so thanks again for being so helpful!! If they are not that much cheaper than a stock 11.6 then I think I will have to wait for my store to have them and get one. I just want to see one in person before I make a decision.
Just got off the phone with Apple Store at Short Pump in Richmond VA. They have them in stock and on display.
They're already down to $849 in the refurb section of the apple website:

This, combined with the question of if BB gets the 4GB models, is of great interest to me.
I was told on the phone that the store has the 4GB modules in the back room, and can be added at the time of purchase. (But could add 2 hours up to a day extra until you can bring it home.)
I'm about to go see if that's true...
Just picked up my 11 inch base MBA at the Lincoln Road store in Miami. Was told this was the first one they had sold today, which was surprising. I can also report they had a new 13" MBA on display and an 11" which they were showing off as well, although the 11" was not wired up to the table.
I am so throughouly confused now about the RAM issue. I was under the impression that the amount originally purchased was non-upgradeable.
From this thread it looks as if Apple store reps are insisting there is another "bay" in addition to the base 2gb soldered in. What's the best way to clear this up.
Also, do they sell CPU upgraded models in store, like the 11.6 1.6ghz version?
