Rating: 5/5 Great Source July 3, 2018 Ordered memory for my Macbook on a Friday and rec'd it the following Mon. via regular mail. The price was considerably better than Amazon & other sources.

If that weren't enough my sluggish Mac is zipping along nicely with the added RAM. I should mention the support info on the site is excellent - very pleased. Keith D.

Rating: 5/5 This is just what i needed to use my Digital audio software. April 13, 2018 I actually thought my refurbished MacBook could only take 4Gigs Ram until I discovered your website. I now have 8Gigs which allows me to run digital audio software which I previously could not do. Great product and great tutorial videos and PDFs. This is the first time I have tried to do anything myself with by MacBook and I am thrilled with my success.Keep up the good work.

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.

Rating: 5/5 As easy as advertised March 27, 2018 I quadrupled the RAM on my old MacBook Pro from 2009. After watching some YouTube videos on how to do it, I took the plunge, ordered from MacSales, and -- a miracle -- my old sluggish machine that took forever to respond became a modern laptop with a life. I am now considering updating the hard drive to a solid state drive from MacSales to turn a really good old machine into a truly great device, as flexible and responsive as my iMac.

Rating: 5/5 My MacBook Pro Has Been Resurrected! March 22, 2018 I had been growing increasingly dissatisfied with my 2010 MacBook Pro, as it got a little slower over the last couple of years. It took me a long time to decide to spend big $ on a new MacBook Air, and right before I finally did, I discovered that mine would recognize 16GB of RAM, and that my favorite Mac product source had it available. I thought it would be worth the gamble, and it sure was! 16GB of RAM woke up my old MacBook Pro to a respectable level. It's very cool to soup up an old machine that has never let me down, other than simply growing progressively slower over the years. Now I can easily see myself using it daily well past its 10th birthday. Now I have $ set aside for some cool new motorcycle farkles!

On a side note, I purchased this RAM with money I earned installing RAM for friends and colleagues who are afraid to open their laptop cases, $25 at a time. HA - SUCKERS!

Rating: 5/5 Worked when all the others failed March 20, 2018 I tried another company that provided the 16GB RAM for my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro and waited a long time and finally asked the company what happened. They had said that they just received back the RAM they sent me in the torn and tattered packaging that could barely be read and told me they'd be sending me another 2 RAM sticks because they weren't sure if they had been damaged. I received those and they were Kingston and didn't work (booted half-way). They sent me some Samsung, didn't work (didn't boot at all). I sent them back and after a month of trying to get 16GB of RAM in my Mac, I just ordered it from MacSales.com and shortly, and I mean very shortly after ordering they arrived and have worked perfectly ever since. Don't waste your time with other companies.

Rating: 5/5 Best part is the model-specific install instructions March 5, 2018 These arrived right away. (officially my model only supports 4G, but OWC knows that I can get things in high gear with 8G)

The install instructions are easy to follow and everything worked right away.

And *wow*, it is like my computer is 10 years younger. No longer bogs down when I have more than 3 or 4 apps running.

Rating: 5/5 My Mid-2010 MacBook Pro feels like a new machine February 20, 2018 I am fortunate that my MBP was one of the few machines from that era that can handle 16GB of ram. I purchased an 8GB module and kept one of the original 2GB modules for a total of 10GB. The difference in speed is astounding! Coupled with replacing my old 5400RPM hard drive with a 500GB SSD, this machine now feels like a new computer.

The tech support before I ordered the memory helped to make sure I ordered the correct module. Best Tech support I have experienced in years!

Installation was a breeze.
