MBA 2011 11" mainboard swap

I have a MacBook Air 11" from 2011 with 64 GB SSD and 2 GB RAM. Nice machine, I look for an 4 GB logic board swap for it.

What models are usable for that, all 11" from 2011 up to 2014 models?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The SSD drive's interface in this model limits your choices. The newest models use a different drive and the iSight camera connection to the logic board is different as well. Basically you are locked in with the Mid 2011.

This is the only logic board IFIXIT has right now: MacBook Air 11" (Mid 2011) 1.6 GHz Logic Board There is also a 1.8 GHz board but you’ll need to look online as they are very fleeting as many people want them. Here’s the IFIXIT guide to put it in: MacBook Air 11" Mid 2011 Logic Board Replacement

I wouldn’t spend to much on this system as before you know it it will cost more than a new system. As far as a new system… Rumor has it Apple will be introducing a newer Air system either at WWDC next week or later in the fall. If your system is working right now I would hold off to see what they do.
