\"\"These days, we could all stand to save a little money. At the same time though, we want our Macs to run more efficiently. Fortunately, with OWC, you can get the best price for your upgrades, and that\u2019s been a popular topic here on the Blog as of late. Earlier this month, we announced that you can get an ultra-high-performance Mac Pro workstation through MacPerformanceGuide.com<\/a>, using all OWC components. A few days ago, we talked about how, despite memory price increases, OWC still has the best pricing<\/a>. In between that were a number of price drops on external storage. Clearly, OWC helps save on those upgrades for your Mac, and we\u2019re glad to show you how.<\/p>\n

Now, though, we\u2019re not the only ones saying it. Rodrigo Sep\u00falveda Schulz<\/a>, a popular European podcaster, tweeted<\/a> about how it\u2019s much less expensive to upgrade a brand new Mac through OWC than it is to make the same upgrades through Apple. When we contacted him about his findings, he told us:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter comparing apple.com vs. OWC (macsales.com) on upgrading a MacPro 8-core with 8x4GB RAM and 4x2TB HDs, I realized I could save $3,310.05 by ordering the same upgrades from OWC.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s no small amount of cash.<\/p>\n

Of course, not everybody is pumping up a Mac Pro with 32GB of RAM and 8TB worth of storage<\/a>. Maybe you just want to drop a new hard drive in your Late-08 MacBook Pro<\/a> or max out the RAM in your Core Duo Mac mini<\/a>. We\u2019ve got compatible upgrades for the best prices, no matter what Mac you have<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The savings don\u2019t stop there. To help you save the cost of hiring someone to install the upgrades for you, you can even check out our free installation videos<\/a> that walk you through your upgrades step-by-step.<\/p>\n

While others may charge a premium for their “Mac-Compatible” upgrades, OWC helps you do it for less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
