Jun 21, 2015 11:31 AM in response to Nielby gacea_george,It's not a retina model, and I already have 8 GB on my mac, but I red here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1270 and it says that the max ram is 8 GB. 16GB of RAM is not cheap so I don't want to buy it before I'm sure that it's ok.

Jun 21, 2015 11:43 AM in response to gacea_georgeby K Shaffer,★HelpfulWhen correctly identified as one which can have memory upgraded, see...
•MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1270
Also note the specs shown may be less in this article than those from
other sources who have tested viability of more than suggested limits
such as OWC macsales, who offers RAM upgrade for the capable MB
/Pro models such the one yours appears to be.
According to specs such as those presented by http://mactracker.ca data
the identify of the model build sales order presents an upgrade opportunity.
For correct identification you could use an Apple Support article and/or lookup by serial number service.

Hopefully your device is identified as one that can see & use 16GB.
Good luck & happy computing!
