Hello, i have a Macbook Pro-mid 2013 (13" inch-intel Core i5 2,5ghz-4go RAM) and i'd like to upgrade the RAM to the maximum possible.
I saw that officialy, the maximum is 8go but that it's possible to use 16go without problems.
Is there any risk to upgrade to 16go?
What brands would be the best choice?
Thank you for your help.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
You note two different machines, the MacBook Pro Mid-2012 and Mid-2013. There is no Mid-2013 MBP, but the Early and Late 2013 models cannot be upgraded after sale.
The Mid-2012 can be upgraded to 16 GB but like all Macs, you need to use ram guaranteed for a Mac as they are very sensitive to the timing of the memory. Buy from OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com
1. No.
2. Buy RAM from Crucial or OWC.

Is Kingston a good choice too?
Thank you.
No it is not, buy from OWC or Crucial.
Kingston Value Ram and Corsair Vengeance ram almost NEVER work in a Mac. Much of their ram is actually intended for PCs and does not have the timing or latency required in a Mac system.
The retina MacBook Pro's cannot be upgraded.
If you have the mid-2012 MacBook Pro (Non-Retina) then yes. There is no risk and go with OWC.
