Timetec Apple DDR3 8GB 1333MHz PC3-10600 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.5V CL9 2Rx8 Dual Rank 204 Pin SODIMM Apple Memory Ram Module Upgrade (8GB)

Wow what a difference.......after thinking i may need to resort to buying a new mac as it was performing so very slowly not only on internet loading but app performance as well, i read some of the other reviews and in general about installing more RAM. I really thought computers have a shelf life and that my time was up, my iMac is a 2011 with 4GB Ram. As the install seemed easy and risking £58 was a better option initially than a grand for a new machine i thought I would take a punt.The results are amazing to say the least, it has revolutionised my machine and my enjoyment level of using it as it is supposed to be used and these upgrades have made this iMac incredibly fast and like new if not better.If like me you are a little hesitant in doing this, let me tell you its as easy as removing three screws and sliding the new patches in....plug and go ! Fabulous, very happy buyer !Just make sure you purchase the right board for the right machine that you have.

I hadn't changed any RAM in my Macbook pro for a few years and it's coming it the end of it life as updates have stopped and I cant seem to install High Sierra.Anyway that isnt their fault. Timetec's RAM is solid and easy to put in. I used to have 8, then 10, now 16gb of DDR3 RAM. It makes startup time 40 seconds faster and having done Nova Benchmarking tests before and after, plus timing how long it takes to load paid off.It has increased my score by about 40 odd, but it wasnt a huge jump up from 10gb to 16gb. It feels faster though and my fan doesnt get faster when I put it through a decent test.Timetec's RAM is well worth the money and getting some back street computer shop to do it for me for 100 quid.In my other slot I also have Timetec RAM, and that has been in about a year, now I've matched it with the correct amount (having different size RAM in slots slows the Mac down a bit) so it runs a bit faster. I havent put it through a lengthy test yet, but the 8gb I brought a year ago has had some hard tests.Anyway. If you have a late 2011 Macbook pro 13" then have no fear, this will work. It's very easy to install it too, just turn it off put it on a non static surface and watch where you take the screws out, as 3 are different lengths. I use a sheet of paper, Draw a rectangle and then push the the screws in the stared bits on the paper, That way I can put every screw back in the hole it came from. Also I'd advise you to use a nice screwdriver with a magnetic head.I have a pack of interchangeable ones for little things like computers. If you mess up the screw head, then you're screwed yourself.Take your time and watch the bottom piece of RAM. It's so easy though. Have a look on YouTube if you dont know how. Even I can do it, so it's easy.I haven't contacted them, so I'm not sure what the customer service is like, but last year it was great.Great buy if you have an old mac which needs its last refresh before it becomes obsolete.Any questions then please leave them and I'll try and answer them. Or someone else can haha.One downside, which is Amazon's or whoever sent its issue, they just sent it in a thin cardboard a4 pack. Lucky the RAM was ok. But it would be broken if anyone threw it or stepped on it.

I ordered these memory cards in a desperate attempt to improve the incredibly sluggish performance of my MacBook Pro (early 2011 model). I had enquired into upgrading the memory by an authorised Mac repair shop a couple of years ago and was quoted about £170 and thought it wasn't worth it so left it. I saw the guidance on how to upgrade memory on the official Apple website (Google 'upgrading MacBook Pro RAM', and find the link to the Apple support pages titled 'MacBook Pro - how to remove or install memory - Apple Support'), and it seemed as simple as unscrewing the bottom casing, removing the old memory cards and replacing with the new ones, so I thought I'd give it a try.It's really important to use the right memory cards for your laptop, and the Apple support pages will tell you which you need for yours - I just Googled the name of the one I needed and found my way here.These arrived promptly, and were well packaged. You'll need a small screwdriver to unscrew the bottom casing, and as other reviews have said, be careful in remembering which screws go where as they are not all the same length (3 are long and the rest short). I gave the inside of the casing a good wipe with a dry cloth as it was dusty, and the replacement of the memory cards was as simple as the Apple support pages described: they're small parts so just employ common sense and be gentle in the removal of the old cards and replacing with the new, but it literally was a 5-minute job. Screwing the case back on was a little fiddly as a couple of the screws wouldn't get into the right position, but got there in the end. I found a magnetic screwdriver useful in removing the screws, maybe not so useful in replacing the screws as they would change the positioning of the screws. No big deal, it all got done.As for the result, I have a much faster MacBook which opens applications with ease (including MS Office which I dreaded opening as it took so long), and just performs better. Well worth spending £35 and about 10 minutes to get some more life out of a pretty solid MacBook. I only just replaced the memory yesterday so can't comment on the longevity of the product, but so far I'm pleased and would recommend this product.
