Can I use PC3L 12800 RAM in Macbook Pro?

My wires Macbook pro is a 13" Mid 2012 model and I had seen what looked to be a good deal on Crucial Ram memory at Newegg tonight. Unfortunately I cannot tell for certain that this RAM memory will work. I have looked at both her computer and crucial's website. The item is Crucial 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model CT102464BF160B.

$37 a stick with free shipping looks great if it will work!

Hello,

I’m concerned about the same. I’ve got a MBP mid 2012 as well and I wanna know if this RAM would work: PNY - 2-Pack 4GB 1.6GHz PC3-12800s DDR3 SO-DIMM Unbuffered Non-ECC Laptop Memory Kit

Thanks for your time

The correct RAM specifications for a Mid 2012 MBP are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.

It would appear that what you have selected should work. Note that your MBP will accept up to 16 GB RAM.

Ciao.
