Review on 🔧 Corsair Apple Certified 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory 1.35V: Boost Your Apple Laptop's Performance with Reliable Memory Upgrade by Tim Hollins

While it's silly that DDR3L is still around in mid-2019, it's a fair upgrade and enough to make a late 2012 Mac mini fare better than most modern ones when it comes to memory-intensive tasks like Google Chrome Computer. etc. (Assuming you already have an SSD upgrade). If you don't need pure IPC or multi-core performance, these 22nm dual-core Ivy Bridge processors hold up pretty well and will still be good enough until 7/10nm processors arrive, which is upgrade- hopefully make paths more attractive. So far there are no errors. Mac Activity Monitor claims I'm using 7-9 GB of memory with a full load of open Chrome tabs at any given point. I would call this a purposeful upgrade as my previous 8GB set throttled performance from time to time. I don't know who's to blame here, but I'd say that Corsair's packaging for this particular Mac DDR3L memory is pretty bad. It's just thin paper and a plastic cover over 2 DIMMs. Supplied in a thin bubble wrap. Not the best packaged product I've received. But it works. So here's what. $75 total with taxes and $150 for all upgrades. I now have a 16GB dual core Ivy Bridge 750GB SSD 2.5GHz (3.1 Turbo) computer that does most things very well. investment, but this one has developed well.
