Review on Crucial PC3 12800 SODIMM 204 Pin Memory by Brandon Carraway

Easy installation? Not for Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina

I bought this RAM to fit my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. The description says it's compatible and the description says it's easy to install. I didn't attempt to install right away due to an extremely busy schedule and a desire to install a larger SSD which is significantly more expensive. Admittedly it's been almost 90 days since I bought this, but I finally spent the money on an SSD and installed everything. Once inside my MBP, I found that the RAM cannot be changed since the stock RAM is soldered in (easy install?). I asked for the RAM back as it is unopened and unused. Realizing that I might face restocking fees and/or credits, I figured it would be better to take what I could get rather than have those 2 useless RAM sticks at my disposal. The seller refused my request for a refund without hesitation. So now I have to try to become a RAM salesman too. Guaranteed next time I need RAM for future computers I will definitely look elsewhere. They are sold by the thousands. You would do well to help the customer. upset
