Just upgrading a last gen all-in one PC from 4GB to 16GB, and these sticks were perfect. DDR3 1600MHz JEDEC isn't very fast compared to DDR4 obviously, but I would recommend this memory for any last gen laptop or all-in one updates. No issues, well known manufacturer, and super simple upgrade. As is any memory upgrade. Happy with my purchase.

Breathed new life into older MacBook Pro

I installed these memory modules into a December 2011 MacBook Pro along with a new SSD hard drive (Samsung EVO 850 1TB) and it's now ZOOMING right along. It was a big upgrade - from 2x2GB to 2x8GB - yet the improvement in speed still exceeded my expectations.
I replaced the hard drive first (upgrade to High Sierra killed the HDD hard drive) and saw some improvement in reboot speed and performance but overall performance bumped up noticeably when these modules were installed.
On average it now takes about 20 seconds from the time I hit restart until its ready for me to enter my password.
My MBP is a unibody so it took only a few minutes to remove the 2x2GB and replace with these 2x8GB modules. The MBP booted up immediately and it's been running smoothly ever since (installed ~12/8/17).
An investment of less than $140.00 has increased the speed and performance so much that I'm kicking myself for not upgrading this new-to-me MBP six months ago when I bought it from a co-worker.

After reviewing this product, I decided to make a purchase as my Toshiba C75 model was much less than functional running Windows 10. I ran it with just one stick along with the 4GB included in the laptop and saw immediate improvement! After checking the system stats, it read 12GB of RAM just like it's supposed to. Don't expect a miracle if you have Google Chrome, especially since it is a resource hog on CPUs such as my meager A6 chip. Could also be because it's a less expensive Toshiba laptop. However, I'm able to view many more tabs than normal without freezing or crashing. Even Real Player isn't a hassle anymore! Later I will install RAM with better speed, but it will definitely be Corsair!

Works on perfectly on my 13 inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
The tech specs listed by Apple say that this Macbook can only support up to 8GB of RAM, however this product does, and continues to, work as described on my MacBook.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who ones the same macbook as me, since I have first-hand experience that it does in fact support 16GB RAM. Works perfectly and my old MacBook is super fast.

This ram was to update an older Toshiba laptop. It made a huge difference going from 4gb to 16gb. Don't be scared off by the name, after researching different ram, I found that the Corsair - ValueSelect was good quality and one of the better on the market.
Would buy again, wish I had bought it sooner...

Just built a new gaming pc and these suit the build to a tee. 16GB is plenty of ram and at speeds of 1.3 GHz, you shouldn't consider anything else. The rgb lighting in this ram is also extremely bright and will add a real aesthetics boost to your rig, there's millions of lighting and colour options to choose from also. Cant recommend this product enough.

Just as the name implies, this 16GB DDR3 laptop memory kit is a good value for those still using a laptop or mini PC (such as the Dell Zino HD HTPC) running DDR3 memory. This is a great, relatively inexpensive way to max out hte performance of a device which may not be the latest technology but still gets the job done and need not yet be replaced.

After installing the 16GB I can work with my photos without waiting on them to load and I'm able to have my email and other tabs open. Coupled with an SSD, it's brought new live to my early 2011 MacBook Pro.

The only issue I had with this item is the lack of availability and how long it took for me to get what I paid for!!! I ordered this for Store pickup right after Christmas! Got to the store and 2 Hours later, they haven't found my product! I then agreed to have it shipped to the store by Jan 6! On January 10, the item still wasn't there, plus no communication as to why!! I had to call to get an update! Was told that the item hasn't even been shipped and now will ship to my home in 1 day!! It finally showed up two days later!!! So, again, the product itself works well in my HP Rove 20 AIO, just the other stuff that's a shame!!! I have no idea why it says purchase date of 1/15/20, I bought and paid for it on 12/28/19

My MacBook Pro 2011 only had 4GB of Ram and it was starting to show. Corsair has been good so far. Loading and startup times are much faster. It's like going from bicycle to a motorcycle.
