    I picked this up for my 2012 i7 Macbook Pro as it came with only eight gigs of RAM, which was barely enough to run the Yosemite beta and left me with a lot of lagging and sluggish performance when I was doing almost anything. After looking up the instructions online for swapping the RAM, I installed this new RAM and noticed a dramatic improvement. My Macbook didn't hang anymore. Working in Final Cut Pro X wasn't an exercise in frustration and patience while waiting for my Macbook to catch up anymore either. The only other thing to do after this that could improve the performance of my Macbook Pro would be to swap the standard 7,200rpm hard drive for an SSD. I only wish I'd done this RAM upgrade sooner.

    Works great. My only warning is to make sure your laptop works well with 1.5v (DDR3) memory as opposed to similar memory that is 1.35v (DDR3L). Check online for a plethora of articles that discuss the differences and issues.

    I'm not a huge fan of PNY for a lot of things but their ram is reliable and relatively cheap. Upgraded my 2012 MacBook Pro from 8gb ram to this 16gb. Runs like butter on a hot summer day.

    My experience with PNY products has always been great. They make good product at a good price. The nice thing is this memory is perfect for my ASUS G750 laptop. Planning to buy a second set to increase my total memory to 32 GBytes.

    Had Geek Squad upgrade my memory. Done very quickly and courteously. Richie was great at the Scranton Store in PA. If you live there ask for Richie he is awesome. Price was fare for memory because I had the Technical support the install was free. Well worth the plan I love Geek Squad!!!

    The memory modules work fine. Officially, Apple does not list the MacBook Pro 13 (mid 2012) at 16 Gb memory max, but it is true. And it works. An Apple technician recommended it and my local Apple store did not deny. Memory works fine for me.
