    Hello!

    Do you think it is possible to do so, even if Apple Service do it for me or they don't allow such services?

    Thanks

    No. Not possible AT All! Its not a simple install, it would require a whole new motherboard change and the 9400m being an IGP makes it harder. Dont try it.

    I'm going to close this before it gets out of hand. Basically, no, because the new MBA has completely new hardware. Apple will have to physically replace everything on your MBA if you wanted the new 9400m.
