    I purchased this RAM for a Lenovo thinkpad T430. It was a great addition along with an SSD. I regularly use AutoCAD and similar intensive programs, and this ram made all the difference when multi-tasking.

    Best upgrade for my earlier model Dell laptop. I came with the minimum required. With this upgrade, it now has the maximum memory for it. Runs faster -- programs and apps load up quicker.

    Made purchase on a bargain item just to find it was really great memory for the price. I normally purchase only corsair high performance but for a fraction of the cost this works fine.

    It's Like Shooting Craps. It's a 50/50 thing.

    PNY memory is fine. Assuming the memory is good. While Best Buy is very good about returns, it was frustrating to have taken memory back several times because the memory was bad. Running memory check apps found the different sets would not pass 50% of the testing -- leading to crashing and freezing. So it's a great price but be ready to invest some time and travel back and forth. Because of the frustrations, I can not recommend this to my friends.

    Worked flawlessly in my Late 2013 27" iMac. This allowed me to buy and installed 32GB of RAM in my iMAC for only around $210 instead of the $800+ that Apple charges for the same. No issues what so over with this RAM and I have had it installed for a couple of weeks now.

    For the amount of RAM you get, and the price of it, this was a great buy! Bought for a MacBook pro (Late 2012), and it sped the computer up tremendously!

    Just remember that you might hear a loud-pitched beep (or several) upon initial install. Don't worry though. Simply power iMac down either by unplugging or holding the power button in until unit power off and then wait a a few minutes than power back up.

    I have no complaints with the product, does seem to help with rendering and video editing in Final Cut Pro X, upgrading from 4gb ram which was really slow and painful.

    Added two 8 GB modules (16 GB) to our late 2012 model 27" iMac. The computer was purchased with two 4 GB modules (8 GB) and now has a total of 24 GB. Very happy with the computers increased operating speed.
