    I first purchased this ram and had some issues with one of the sticks failing after 12 hours. I exchanged the defective ram and now it's as if my 2012 MacBook Pro is brand new again. Definitely worth the price!!!

    I bought this Ram to upgrade my Macbook Pro MD102. It stated that Ram, was compatible with Mac, but it seem to slow my Mac down. Found out, I bought the wrong memory and put the ram in my Asus laptop. Now my laptop is extremely fast.

    Exactly what it is. I installed it in a MacBook Pro 13" from late 2011. Expanded from 4GB to 16GB. Glad I went to 16 as when I am processing photos, I never run out of memory. Running OSX Yosemite.

    I bought this to upgrade the puny 4GB ram in my Mac Mini. It is extremely easy to install in the Mac Mini and increased the speed and performance exponentially. Price wise, this wasn't as expensive as some of the other brands out there, but it does the same thing at a cheaper price. Definitely recommend to the Mac user looking to upgrade the minimal ram that Apple puts in its base model Macs.

    Overall im satisfied with the product and the upgrade it gave me. I am however, not happy about the price. there are computers that hold 32 gigs of ram and probly more so $175 is way to much for 16 gigs of ram.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It is Ok but it doesn´t work with I5 or I7 4th generation laptops. It should be DDR3L. So description and store should mention it. In the description you think it works no matter the laptop.

    I used the RAM with the Macbook Pro MD101LL/A (Late 2012 Model), and it makes the thing practically fly. Paired with the solid state drive I purchased, it makes the unit almost as fast as the newer Macbook Pro.

    My Dad's computer was 5 years old and needed a boost to help him do the the daily things he needed to get accomplished. The RAM helped stop the beach balling icon on the screen.

    I don't know much about computer components, but had extra memory added to my new MacBook Pro. Everyone who has seen it in use says it is blazing fast, so that is good enough for me.

    I've never had a failure with PNY RAM and it performs as advertised. Might not be a gamers dream but for every day computing I couldn't find a better price for the quality.
