Purchased this memory upgrade for my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (13”). It was showing its ages, taking an age to start-up, and being particularly slow when opening applications.
I was on the verge of buying a new MacBook, but the very high prices, inability to replace components (I believe they are all soldered in place) and lacklustre reviews put me off. So I researched how to improve the speed, and found it was very easy to increase the RAM. I had 4gb originally, and decided to go for 16gb (Apple recommend a max of 8gb, but again research told me that it could easily handle 16gb). It has completely revamped my MacBook, it starts up in about 25 seconds now (compared to about 4 minutes previously), and opening applications takes roughly 3 seconds.
I think this has probably added about 2 years to the life of my machine, and saved me thousands on an upgrade for the time being.

Make everything on your computer fasterMemory is a component in your computer that allows for short-term data access. Since your system’s moment-to-moment operations rely on short-term data access – loading applications, browsing the Web or editing a spreadsheet – the speed and amount of memory in your system plays a critical role. Load apps in seconds by increasing the speed of your memory and installing more of it. |
Multitask with easeIf you’re like us, you use your computer to do a lot of things at once. You might be editing a document, while also looking at pictures and browsing the internet. This naturally leads to a performance problem: every app you’re running requires memory and competes for a limited pool of resources. Overcome this by installing high-density modules in each memory slot for seamless multitasking. |
Install with ease – no computer skills requiredWith just a screwdriver, your owner’s manual, and a few minutes of time, you can instal memory – no computer skills necessary. Just watch one of our three-minute install videos, and we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process. Don’t pay a computer shop to do something you can do in minutes! |
Maximize the value of your systemAt a fraction of the cost of a new system, a memory upgrade is one of the most affordable ways to increase performance. Get more out of your laptop by giving it the resources it needs to perform. |
