Unfortunately, there are many dads that don\u2019t like getting Father\u2019s Day gifts at all \u2013 yes, we\u2019ve all gotten the \u201csave your money\u201d speech.<\/p>\n<p>So this year, my girlfriend\u00a0and I plan on employing the \u201csneak attack\u201d Father\u2019s Day gift. There\u2019ll be no gift for him to have to awkwardly open. No, the real gift will come when he opens his early-2009 MacBook.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does our sneaky gift entail? It\u2019s pretty simple. While he\u2019s outside working the grill, we\u2019ll be popping in the house for a few minutes to use the computer. But secretly, we\u2019ll be quickly installing 4GB of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/apple\/memory\/\">OWC memory<\/a>\u00a0into his aging MacBook (yes, it&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/19871-its-easy-with-owc\">that easy<\/a>). Then we\u2019ll throw a cheap bow on it and let him discover what a difference new memory can make.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re opting for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Other%20World%20Computing\/5300DDR2S4GP\/\">4GB of memory<\/a>\u00a0since his machine\u00a0only has 2GB currently, and that upgrade alone will provide a significant boost. Had we wanted to, we could\u2019ve taken his model all the way up to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Other%20World%20Computing\/5300DDR2S6GP\/\">6GB of RAM<\/a>\u00a0for maximum performance \u2026 but we have to save something for next year, right?<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that I\u2019ve done this to several MacBooks already and can now do so without OWC\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/installvideos\/\">video installation instructions<\/a>, but should you need the help, they\u2019ll guide you every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>So feel free to borrow our idea and try the sneak attack gift for yourself. We have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/apple\/memory\/\">memory upgrades<\/a>\u00a0for just about any MacBook your dad might have \u2013 and at a great price. So when he gives you the \u201cyou should\u2019ve saved your money\u201d speech, you can at least come back with an \u201cI did save money!\u201d speech of your own.<\/p>\n<p>Need some other ideas? Check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/search\/%22father%27s+day%22\">Father\u2019s Day series<\/a>\u00a0from last year for a ton of great gift ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is nothing better than impressing dad with a good Father\u2019s Day gift.
