Why didn't I do this earlier?

I upgraded this 2.4GHz 8.1 13" MacBook Pro i5 with an SSD last year in late 2011 and noticed a huge improvement. But now that the world is the way it is , I need to use my laptop more than ever and it was a problem with the original 4GB of RAM. I ran out of 16GB but accidentally ordered 1600MHz instead of the 1333MHz my system needs. OWC says that what i ordered is compatible with my machine and it definitely recognizes this in the spec check the system works like a dream super easy to install…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some bugs

Easy to install, easy to edit photos

In late 2015 I added my iMac 27" Retina 32GB. I edit large photo files (medium to large format film scans at 3200 DPI) and the 8GB standard memory was anemic for the task.Also, streaming music to an external DAC sometimes caused memory crashes with multiple other apps open.The OWC 32GB installed easily - I just popped the sticks into the empty slots, the cover reattached it, plugged it in and turned it on. The first startup sequence seemed a little slower but I didn't time it. Now my iMac runs…

Pros
  • Sturdy surface
Cons
  • Not sure

May cause problems!

I have a 2012 13" Macbook Pro. I did some research and he said 16GB RAM would be fine and even mentioned this brand. I bought it because my computer was having problems with it had crashes and i thought it might help i replaced it but it kept crashing so i replaced the hard drive and he went ahead and updated it to the latest ios and they downgraded him from the update he was doing (Fuck Apple.) and it worked better but still crashed so I took it BACK (I explained I had the hard drive and RAM…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
