    I bought last years Mac Mini model so that I could max out the RAM. Applications like iMovie are so much smoother than the factory installed 4 GB.

    Competitively priced and versatile RAM upgrade to bring aging or underperforming systems back to life. 8 GB has been found to be more than adequate for the Mac OS, but the boost from 4GB to 16GB for my 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro has been excellent! When paired with a 240 GB SSD I was able to have a new unit in terms of performance for a budget price.

    I am doing machine learning algorithms and this sped my processing up considerably. I have a capacity issue on my laptop for RAM, so within the solution space this has been a much needed improvement. It's reliable and was very easy to install. Thanks Best Buy, for another great product and staff that helped me to understand how to do it myself.

    PNY has been one of my mainstays as far as storage goes with flash drives. Normally I would purchase RAM elsewhere. However, for the price, I decided to take a chance. I am happy with the results. Installation was easy. Excellent performance upgrade.

    Installation was smooth as silk. Computer immediately saw the RAM and it has been functioning well since then. The RAM in addition to a new solid state drive has made a 4-year-old computer function like a new one with about 4X the speed (no kidding).
