Rating: 5/5 Memory Upgrade, Mac Mini 4.1 (16 GB) August 7, 2018 Received shipment quickly and the item was well packaged. I installed 2, 8 GB ram modules in all of about five minutes with zero difficulty. Turned the Mac Mini on and it recognized the new RAM almost instantaneously. There's a definite improvement over having just 2 x 2 GB in this Mac Mini (mid 2010). Thank you OWC, very satisfied with this purchase!

Rating: 5/5 Don't hesitate to upgrade your ram August 7, 2018 Great service and very helpful--called to confirm I was ordering the right ram and got great advise. The video instruction they provide is excellent-I am a home owner user with very little talent but upgrading the ram in my Mac desktop, late 2009 27 inch, was a 5 minute job. The core must accept the ram and in my case did--I7 core model 11,1 Even though the title of the product may not incorporate your particular model, as in my case the ram fits and a phone call was all that I needed to complete the order. Great guarantee so just do it! Increasing the ram really helps, especially considering that operating system upgrades can slow your computer over time.

Rating: 5/5 MacBook Life Extended August 7, 2018 My daughter's MacBook was running painfully slow with the latest OS and updated apps. The solution was to double the physical memory from 4MB to 8MB. This affordable upgrade has returned the MacBook to being responsive and extended the useful life of the MacBook.

Reviewer: macbook70 Location: phoenix, az. Age: Over 65 Experience Level: Home User Owned Product: over 6 months

Rating: 5/5 money well spent July 26, 2018 I purchased my macbook in 2008, the late, intel, aluminum body. it came with 2gb of memory and the upgrade then to 4 gb was $200. I just installed the 4gb of memory i purchased from OWC for $32. An fyi, the youtube video about installation instructs one to use a 00 philips screwdriver, WRONG, one needs the 000 phillips. The installation went great and my macbook is now much quicker. Also of note, the delivery was just a couple days and securely packaged.

Rating: 5/5 Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy July 25, 2018 The RAM was a breeze to install with one minor hiccough, the notches on my motherboard were inverse to those on the video. Since the RAM is notched, and since I could see how the others were installed, it was simple and fast.

Great product,

Rating: 5/5 Saved a dying MacBook July 24, 2018 Purchased this memory upgrade to replace a bad memory chip I had in an old 13" MacBook. It originally only had 4 gigs of memory (2 x 2 gig memory cards) and only one would read. Purchased this upgrade to get the MacBook processing a little faster and it did just the trick. Definitely still need to replace the entire MacBook but this memory upgrade works wonderfully.

Recently upgraded the hard drive and I wish I had known about this company and purchased it from them. I will be doing all my shopping for discounted Mac products here, the order was received promptly and the products are top notch.

Rating: 5/5 Great quality, outstanding instructions! July 18, 2018 This was a simple memory upgrade and OWC made it even easier. The memory itself came quickly and well packaged to prevent any damage from mis-handling during shipping. The tutorial video walked through the process and made it very easy to repeat on my own. Again, upgrading memory isn't rocket science but this experience reminded me why I love doing business with OWC. Thank you all for another great experience!

Rating: 5/5 Upgrade April 12, 2018 Upgrading the Ram or memory for my MacBook Pro went better than I thought. When I checked with Apple they told me I could only upgrade to 8 GB, but when I asked a sales represennitive from Macsales he. Cjexked my model and let me know that I could upgrade trombone 4GB to 16 GB of Ram, and again the instructional videos that Macsales offer online show you how easy and inexpensive it is to upgrade. My MacBook Pro works great.
