    Picked up two packages of these to max out my MSI GT60 424. Zero issues with installation up and running in 5 minutes. Zero complaints, and the RAM is speedy.

    I installed it in my new MacBook Pro and it worked great, no issues at all, I added a PNY SSD as well with excellent results. It took 52 seconds for it to boot to the desktop now it takes only 13, this is the result of the SSD, ram has no effect on how fast the machine boots.

    Perfect upgrade for my MacBookPro

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this memory upgrade from Best Buy to expand memory in my MacBookPro laptop. Documentation from Apple stated that upgrade could go to 8 Gig but I read many postings that hinted that my laptop would recognize 16 Gig. My laptop did recognize 16 Gig Ram now and with my SSD HD installed flies on the internet and boot time only takes about 20 seconds!

    PNY 16GB DDR3 R@m 204 Pin Price. Quality. Source

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Rule#1 Replace with same size memory and same type. Rule 2) Avoid off brand names in most instances R@m is guaranteed for life by the manufacturer who in this case is PNY WHO are really becoming mover and shakers in the industry again with its R@m, SSD (fastest internal SSD as of this writing.) Rule 3) Remember, what ToeKnee reminds you every time those being too thrifty to buy off brands like Yum Yum and Bing Bang end up paying twice as much and threaten their own stability and time by risky and questionable sources. Buy name brands. Buy Best Buy. Join their programs and maybe you will get a BB Hat and TShirt from Sasha the head Blogger for Best Buy! I am ToeKnee and I am out of here and blazing away with another in depth revue of intricate parts of running as fast you can per dollar and doing so wisely and being the best Road Warrior on the Planet..

    Works in MacBook Pro (mid-2012). Faster than it was new (originally came with 4 gb ram). Apple would tell you that this setup will max out at 8 gb, however that is not true, it will take 16 gb, no problem. If you do have problems, Best Buy will exchange/return. Try it out

    Extra Memory for HP Notebook

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Despite the uncertainty of the sales person at Best Buy I decided to take it home and try it, thanks to Best Buy's excellent return policy. It took me all of 5 min to take the cover off of the HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook memory card slots and remove the single 4g RAM card & install these two 8g RAM cards. The MS Win 10 Home operating system started up without a glitch and recognized the new memory without any problem at all. The OS that was getting so slow and would often bog down is operating much better now. The reason for the uncertainty of the sales rep was due to the lack of clarity on the packaging of the cards. If you will take note the Best Buy website lists the cards as "DDR3L" but on the packaging it only indicates it as "DDR3". The other discrepancy was that on the package it listed the voltage as 1.35 versus 1.5 so that is why the sales rep was uncertain. If the package would have had the "DDR3L" it would have agreed with 1.35 voltage and it would not have created the uncertainty.

    Great Price for the Size

    It's about the lowest price you can get anywhere for a 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800 .. I have installed it on my Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 and it work great (Even thought that Dell recommended a max of 8GB). I would highly recommended this product to anyone looking to upgrade his laptop with more memory :) Best of Luck Guys

    I wanted to do some basic video editing in after effects, but my 8 GB of RAM didn't seem to be enough and my laptop ran slow early at some point; this was an awesome choice! I noticed the huge difference in performance.

    Not a compatible swap for DDR3 L Ram

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Tried to upgrade my Acer to 16gb of RAM from 8Gb but my computer won't boot up after inserting the new memory. After researching online the DDR3 uses more power (1.5v) than my current DDR3 L (1.35v). My BIOS will not let me change the settings to work with the new memory. So everyone please keep in mind that DDR3 does not necessarily work the same as DDR3 L.
