it's ok but. for computers and accessories

It seems that this RAM does not fit well into your memory slots during installation. That's true, but be careful, take your time, and maneuver well without touching the gold stripe on the bottom of the butt or slot. Baran does what it's supposed to do, which is more RAM at an affordable price. I think the quality is ok. There are certain brands of RAM that have good speed and performance, but this isn't one of them. Memory speeds are average when performing basic tasks on a laptop. If you have heavy applications used by musicians, graphic designers, writers, film students, gamers, etc., this RAM will not be enough. It lacks speed, which can hamper your productivity. The ability to process your information in a software or application is key. The ability to switch between different programs that are open at the same time is very important. This Aries has moments when they fall behind and try to keep up. Yes, you can limit the amount of software you have open at one time to help with this. However, when you are working with the same software and it needs to process different elements at the same time for the whole project, it can be annoying not to do it. I have another brand of RAM on a MacBook Pro of the same version that is smaller in GB but faster than this brand. Is that a good price per GB? certainly! Is it normal for a college student to do basic things on a laptop? Yes, and with 8 GB instead of 16 GB it would be better. How does this affect download or upload speed? If you do several small downloads at the same time, everything is fine. I had to upload the new releases to one of my software apps here and it took 3 hours for the 58GB of new info, of course it was 3 hours, I couldn't use the laptop and it could only upload. You can judge. In my opinion it should have lasted at most 2 Β½ hours. I had good internet speed (120Mbps) and was firmly connected to my laptop and charger to download. However, I would recommend spending the extra money on another brand if you need 16GB of RAM. Most people who go for 16GB of RAM really need it. If I'm upgrading my 3rd MacBook Pro mid 2012 I will use another brand that understands how "critical" RAM speed is.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
