I currently have a 13 inch mac pro 2009 with 8GB RAM and want to get a new one. I want more ram than 8GB and really want the 13 inch. Is there a way to get 16 GB ram?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7), 8 gig RAM, 250 G hard drive
Only the Retina model can be configured with 16 GBs.
The 13 inch does support 16 gigs of ram, but apple says it doesn't. I did it on mine, its fully working.
On a 13' Macbook Pro - 8GB 1066 DDR3 RAM is the Maximum.
On a 2011 to Present Macbook Pro - 16GB DDR3 RAM is the Maximum.
2011 - DDR3 1333MHz
2012 - DDR3 1600MHz 1.3 - 1.35 Volts.
Robbyzbot, what year is your MBP? The 2011 model's support up to 16GB.
@drkathy, your 2009 MBP only supports up to 8GB, max
I thought drkathy was talking about this years model. I have 16 gigs of ram in my MBP 15' 2012.
Oh my apologies, if that is so, then yes!
I have a Macbook pro mid 2012 i5 4gb and installed 16gb ram, never done it before but it's was pretty straight forward,

Since you installed the 16 gigs of ram how is the computer running, Have you encounter any problems? How is the heat production running on 16 gigs?
I too have a Mid 2012 MBP 13'' and was looking to upgrade...
also which brand did you use?
Thanks in advance

I have received a huge boost, because i have the power to run many things at the same time, but not enough ram. Since i upgraded it, i can play minecraft, use screenflow to capture it, leave chrome open, and talk on skype. I used Cordair Vengence ram, you could buy one 8gig for $70, or you could buy 2 8gig for $120. Here's a link to it on amazon.
Did you do this to a i5 or i7? Can you also tell us what brand and model/part number you used. Thanks in advance
I have the i7 version, I used corsair vengence, thats the link in my older post, but there it is again.
Hoped I help.
